Yesterday we started our
advent calendar. Talia made her first Christmas card, and I think it'll be a daily thing, to put a cheerio into the cup each day after Talia gets her treat out, so that Katrina can pick something out, too. :) She wanted to be involved too!
Today we made a paper chain for the Christmas tree.
How To Do It:- I cut construction paper into half inch strips with a scrapbooking paper cutter
- we glued the ends together to make the chain

One green paper & one red paper will get you a chain this long:

Talia really enjoyed helping me to put the chain on the tree!

This was a great, simple Christmas activity that I'm sure we'll do again in future years.
