You can make lots of these cute little singing angels. The patterns are all included. You need cardstock, glue dots and glitter glue. These can be used as a tree decoration, in a center piece or as name tags on a dinner table. All the directions are under “Singing Angels” in the 4th Grade Projects Gallery in the sidebar.
I first saw these “Sparkling Bird Ornaments” in the Dec. 05 issue of the Pack-O-Fun magazine. I have received written permission to share the patterns on this website. I made some of them with construction paper and think they are really cute. I’ve also made some with old greeting cards that I think are very nice also. These are so easy to make. The supply list and directions for ” Sparkling Bird Ornaments” are found in the Christmas Projects Gallery, in the sidebar.
Stressing the real reason for the Christmas season, we’ve made a project call “God’s Gift Wreath.” A cardboard wreath is the basis of this project. The outside circle diameter is 8″ and the inside circle is 4″. This is an easy project, so I’ve included it in the 1st Grade Projects Gallery in the sidebar. Sprinkle on glitter could be used in place of the glitter glue if the kids can control the white glue.
Baby’s love their blankies, so we’re making a blanket to give to the baby Jesus. The kids will have lots of fun designing a blanket for Jesus and then tucking Jesus inside. There are patterns included for both the blanket (no designs in the blanket) and the baby. Click on the photo to the left for a larger image.
Any class could do this project, “A Blanket for Baby Jesus,“ so I’m putting it in the Christmas Projects Gallery in the sidebar.

You can almost feel the cold depicted in this blustery winter scene. The wispy clouds continue to spread their snowflakes, even as they appear to be slowly moving away. At first, it appears the picture is of a distant field, until ……. For the instructions for this painted snowman project, look for “Toasty Snowman,” in the Christmas Projects Gallery in the sidebar.

I love these vintage Santas. I’m a Santa collector so I’m always looking for unique Santas. These are easy to make vintage Santas made by printing the Santa image onto brown grocery bag paper.
This “Vintage Santas” project is found in the Christmas Projects Gallery in the sidebar. It is appropriate for any class.
Choose to seal or not to seal your Santas. The Santas shown have been sealed with spray sealer. Click on photo to get a closer view.
Who better to watch over you while you prepare for Christmas than a group of watchful snowmen? These little guys will put a smile on your face and a holiday spirit in your heart. Why not put them in a potted plant for a Christmas gift? Find the directions for these little cuties, “Snowmen Sentinel,” in the Christmas Projects Gallery in the sidebar.

Snowmen are a winter project that we can use before Christmas, during the Christmas season and even for a time after Christmas. So if you are very limited in time, snowmen are the way to go. The pattern for this can be printed on white paper and then just colored if you want to make a short project of it. Or there are also patterns for the vest, hat and pockets that can be printed on colored papers and used instead. The body pattern is in two pieces that need to be printed, overlapped where they match, taped and then copied. This snowman is finished on both sides. The finished length is 16 1/2″ and is easy enough for any class. Find “Twiggy, the Snowman” in the Christmas Projects Gallery in the sidebar. Click the photo for a full length view.
