🌲HANDPRINT CHRISTMAS TREE
* Cover your child’s palm with green paint. We used poster paint, but watercolour will do as fine.
* Let children copy their hands on paper in some sort of Christmas tree shape.

❄️WHITE AS SNOW PLAYDOUGH
* You will need
1 glass of bicarbonate of soda,
1/2 glass of cornflour,
3/4 glass of water.
Mix it all together in pan, when all ingredients connect together heat it up, keep stirring it all the time. When you’ll get playdough consistency, take it out of pan, let it cool and kneed it. Use it for making cute ⛄ as ours.

🎄WOOL CHRISTMAS
*You will need card paper, and some wool. Draw and cut out circle, then cut it in half ( paper plate cut in half would be also great for it).
