Chain, Chain, Chain


Our Christmas program was this evening and it puts me in such a cheery Christmas mood. The children show up in their Christmas clothes and are just so cute and unpredictable. We will finish up the week with lots of Christmas fun in our room and then it's Christmas vacation! Two fun filled weeks with your kids!

We have had a lot of fun cutting and connecting paper chains in our room. This would be a fun activity for all age groups. We use wallpaper sample books for this art project. We draw lines with a Sharpie and a ruler. It is an excellent activity for your child to practice using a scissors.
Reusing is recycling so use colorful pages from magazines or catalogs. Better yet use this idea-one of our 'Grandmas' who picks up and drops off her granddaughter is using scraps of Christmas wrapping paper. Great idea and I'm going to use it for next school year! Thanks for sharing the idea!
Hang the paper chains in your child's room, in the basement or even on the tree! It really makes our room look festive!
