"Get the magic of the season started by making something special." ~Mama Hen
We started getting the Christmas spirit going by making a holiday wreath and a gingerbread house. This wreath is an easy and fun project to do. I made a round cut out and Little Chick smooshed up green tissue paper and stuck it on to the cut out. We then added a red felt bow and some beads. Very cute and so easy. We went to a local Christmas fair that all the proceeds were going to the Make a Wish Foundation and to the children at our local hospital. We supported them and bought a gingerbread kit. Little Chick had a lot of fun making her house and eating the decorations as she went along. We have been reading the Gingerbread Baby every day, so she thought this was a lot of fun! We are super excited that Christmas is on its way!
Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteLooks like a blast. Love the gingerbread house. I so want one of those!

ReplyDeleteThat wreath is adorable, I think even my crazy boy who won't sit still for 5 mins would enjoy that! And I'm dying to do a gingerbread house too. Little Chick's came out so cute!
ReplyDeleteVery cute, and don't kids just love projects! Love seeing Little Chick's new kitty enjoying the project too. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this idea!! Though I am not very crafty, I DO want to try. Reeally difficult with 3 lil ones, I tell ya! Will try again, though I imagine there would be paper everywhere! Tis the season!
ReplyDeleteYou have been so busy over there! You made me remember that I have a gingerbread kit in my cupboard. I need to get that out and make one. :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I think Georgia would love to make a wreath, and that project would be completely within her ability level. Thanks for helping us to make our own Cherished Moment!
ReplyDeleteyall are too cute with your Christmas traditions in full swing! I think we need to make that wreath...just precious! We have a gingerbread train to make too, guess we should get started! You two, as always are PRECIOUS building memories together that'll be with little chick for a lifetime!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how Belle is sitting right by Little Chick. Too sweet. My girls love making gingerbread houses, too. I'm not quite there yet with the Christmas decorations. Maybe by next week!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! She looks so proud of herself!
ReplyDeleteLove this. SO much fun!
ReplyDeleteMama Hen, it's sweet you and Little Chick have been reading Gingerbread Baby everyday, then made a wreath and gingerbread house together. Your post makes me smile to know how much fun we can have making things with our kids :) Hope you have a blessed day today!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet. I always do a advant wreath (or what ever it is called in english) on the first advant sunday, the next one we make a ginger bread house on the 3rd one we put up our tree. I should put up the pics of the kids making it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun crafting day! What great memories you are creating for your Little Chick!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous little girl you have! Yum, that gingerbread house looks good too.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big Christmas lover, too. Save these shots for when she has kids--and make sure to show them to her friends when she's 14. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to start the holiday! Oh, and I love supporting the Make a Wish Foundation. That gingerbread house sure looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun season, especially with little ones. I can't wait to make our ornaments...it's a tradition. We make angels with poster board, clothes pins, and pipe cleaners and they always turn out so cute!
