Holiday craft project

School is out for the next two weeks and that means plenty of opportunities to take your kids skiing, make holiday cookies, relax, and do craft projects.

This is a simple craft project that kept my family entertained for quite awhile, even the two year old. Plus, it added a lovely addition to our Christmas tree.


Popcorn and Cranberry Strings:

You will need:
bowl of day old popcorn
bag of fresh cranberries (not frozen)
cheerios (optional)
string/thread,
tape
needle
Christmas music is a must-have as well.


String the food supplies onto the string. Voila!

Simple as that!! To make it easier for the kids, I tied a knot on one end and taped it too the table so the string wouldn't move around so much.  This is great fine motor practice for little hands.

The cheerios are completely optional, but make life a lot easier for little fingers

Merry Christmas!!
