Crafts

Enjoy some quality time with your children by working on a craft together. Working on projects together will improve their hand-eye coordination, their sense of achievement, their ability to concentrate and it's just plain fun. Each month we feature a new fun project.


Colorful Christmas Cats

These curious ornaments will make a purr-fect addition to your Christmas tree this season.

Here is what you need:

  • Wooden craft spoons
  • Acrylic paint
  • White card stock
  • Glue
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Seed beads
  • Fine-point permanent marker
  • Green tissue paper
  • Red beads or glitter
  • String

Here is what you do:

1. To make each one, first coat a wooden craft spoon with acrylic paint. Paint a patch of the same shade onto a piece of white card stock and let the paints dry.

2. Cut a 1⁄2-inch square from the card stock, then cut the square in half diagonally and glue the 2 triangles to the top of the spoon for ears. For a tail, curl a 6-inch piece of pipe cleaner and glue it to the back of the spoon.

3. Glue on black seed beads for eyes and draw a face with a fine-point permanent marker. Add a holly collar by twisting two or three 1-inch squares of green tissue paper around the tip of a pencil, then glue them in place, adding a few tiny red beads or glitter for berries. Glue on more beads for buttons.

4. Make a hanger by tying a piece of string into a loop and gluing the knot to the back of the spoon. Let all the glue dry completely before hanging
