Ornament 1 - Christmas Bear
Materials:
(For EACH bear)
One large brown, black, or white craft ball
One medium brown, black, or white craft ball
5 small brown, black, or white craft balls
5 tiny brown, black, or white craft balls
2 google eyes
Small piece of ribbon (optional)
Glue Gun or Elmer's Glue
Directions:
Glue the large ball to the medium ball one on top of the other to make the body and head of your bear. Obviously hot glue will work best, but Elmer's glue also works (just takes a long time to dry) if you want your little one to help. Then take the 5 small balls and glue 4 of them on the front of the body to make arms and legs. Glue the last small ball to the back of the body to make a tail. Glue the 5 tiny balls on the face - two for the ears, one for the nose, and two for under the nose to make the mouth. I use different colored balls for the face to add variety. Glue the two eyes in place. Finally, tie the ribbon into a bow and glue it onto the neck of your bear. YOUR DONE!!
Ornament 2 - Glitter Pinecone
Materials:
(For EACH ornament)
1 large or medium pine cone
Glitter of any color
Elmer's glue
Small length of yarn or ribbon
Directions:
Place your pinecone on a paper plate or newspaper and run glue over the pinecone's outer edges. Have your little one sprinkle the pinecone with glitter. After the glue dries tie a piece of yarn onto the pinecone to make a hoop for putting the ornament on the tree. You can also embelish your pinecone with a large ribbon or bow on the top.
