Let’s make a paper plate angel today 🙂

Paper plate angel

Cut a paper plate half

Take one half and seal the ends together to form a cone

Cut hands and wings out of the other half of the plate

Paste it onto the ‘cone’

Cut a semi circle for the face and hair from coloured paper and paste together

Draw eyes on the face and glue to the body. We glued toothpick at the back to keep the head up 😀

A lovely angel as your Christmas decoration 🙂

Let’s make a palm tree today 🙂

Footprint Palm Tree

Paint your foot green. It’ll be a little ticklish 😀

Print your painted foot onto a drawing paper. Paint and print. Repeat until you have the complete circle of leaves

Paint your pointer brown

Print all the way down

There, your palm tree is done. Can you smell the sea-breeze? Can you hear the waves? 😛

Rudolph the red nose reindeer… we’ll be making one today 😀

Handprint Reindeer

Draw the outline of your handprint on a piece of paper and cut

Use that handprint template and draw on a brown craft foam

Cut a small oval and paste as the tail

Bend some pipe cleaners and paste on the reindeer’s head. Paste other small details.

Paste googly eyes and you are done 🙂

Though we love to recycle old bottles or tins for crafts, they are often covered with labels which are sometimes hard to take off. The easiest way to do this is to fill a washing-up bowl with some warm water and soak the bottle in the water for ten minutes. The label should peel off very easily.

Or you might want to try applying a thick coat of cooking oil onto the label. Let the oil soak in overnight. Peel the label off. You may need to reapply oil onto sticky or partly dissolved glue that remain. Once the label is completely removed, wash with warm soapy water. You’ll get squeeky clean bottles or tins 😀

I’m in such a joyous Christmas mood that every single thing I see reminds me of Christmas! 😀

Let’s make a footprint snowman today 🙂

Footprint Snowman

Paint your foot white. It’s gonna be ticklish! 😀

Stamp your painted foot onto a piece of dark coloured construction paper

Help the little one cut the tiny details such as the hat, scarfs, buttons, eyes and mouth.

You may use construction paper, felt or foam 🙂

Paste the tiny details

Your footprint snowman is done! 😀

P/S: I just realised the snowman doesn’t have hands! 😛

Remember the Candle Polka Dots art we did not too long ago? Today we are going to use the same technique and create a Christmas tree out of it 😀

Candle Drops Christmas Tree

Using a brush, paint lots multiple colours dots on a piece of art block

Light a candle and let the wax drip on the dots of colours.

Once the wax are dry, paint green over them.

Scrape away the candle wax and you’ll get beautiful dots of colours decorating your Christmas tree 😀

Handprint Zebra

Paint your palm white and stamp on a piece of paper

Help the little one draw/paint black stripes and the zebra is done 🙂

Today we are going to make a different kind of art. An art that requires the use of candle and flame. This requires close supervision of an adult. NEVER let your kid do this unsupervised.

Candle Polka Dots

First, I demo to my son how I lit a candle and let the wax drip on the art block.

Once I’m confident that he understands, I let him try.

He then paint the art block with various colours

Light a candle and let the wax drip on the colours.

Use a sponge and paint the whole art block with a darker color. We use black 🙂

Once the paint dries, use a coin to scrape off the candles and you’ll get beautiful dots of colours!

A beautiful work of art 😀

Coming up – See how we use the same technique to create a Christmas themed art 🙂
