Can you believe that a week from this Thursday is Thanksgiving? I can’t wait to stuff myself. The best part, though, is the leftovers on the next day. Yum! And, what do most Americans do after Thanksgiving is over (besides Black Friday shopping)? They put up their Christmas tree, and start decorating the house for Christmas! Don’t you love putting up the tree? I love looking at all of the ornaments the kids and I have made over the years together. I also really love the ones the kids made at the Christmas parties. Today, I thought I would search for the best and of course the most simple (because who wants frustration?) ornaments that you can make with your kids this holiday season. Come on in, and I’ll show you some of my favorite ones.
I tried to find the most unique and simple ornaments that packed the most fun for everyone involved!
This one is just perfect for Classroom parties! I love how the trees are pre-made. It’s perfect for little ones, and you can always modify it for bigger kids. Just add a piece of yarn to the top to hang it on the tree. This is from Olives and Pickles

If styrofoam + little ones scares you, I don’t blame you. It scares me too! Use cotton balls. 🙂
