Reindeer with the littles' hands and feet!
We did this one night when Nathan was at the base for a reception. It was super easy and fun! The kids loved it. Plus, it was a great opportunity to practice tracing, cutting, and gluing for the twins.
Trace their foot on one piece of construction paper and cut it out.
Trace their hands on a darker piece of paper and cut them out.
Then just glue the hands on the top of the foot for your reindeer head. Add eyes and a nose (we just happen to have red glitter, so we used that, but you could also use a red pom-pom or just draw with red crayon/marker).
Voila'. Adorable reindeer.
I actually made four of these using Cale's hands and feet for his teachers at school (since there are so many of them and we don't know them well yet), added a bag of oatmeal butterscotch cookies and that was their gift!

paper snowflake ornaments
This one was incredibly easy too, just not as cute.
All you do is cut up the cardboard from a roll of wrapping paper into several strips (They will need 8-10 each). Flatten them out and let them decorate their strips, add their name/date to one. Punch a hole on each end of each strip, about 1/2 inch away from the edge.
Then using pipe cleaners ($1 for 50- we used white/glittery white), string a pipe cleaner thru the bottom hole of each strip of cardboard. Twist two pipecleaners together and do the same on thru the top of the strips. Twist the ends together and you have a snowflake!
They weren't THE prettiest snowflakes I've ever seen, but I love a good cheap craft! Plus, watching the kids try to hang them on the tree by themselves was worth it :)
