Jazzed Up Christmas Stockings
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 24th, 2010

It may not be as nice to others as a store bought stocking, but I assure you, that personal touch will do wonders! The kids will surely love it more. - What you will need Fabric Glue/ All purpose glue or wood glue Foam shapes/ Sequins and other random stuff to glue unto the stocking Christmas Stocking or plain sock Glitter glue ...Read More » Tags

Family Picture Ornament
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 22nd, 2010
First of all, I'm really not sure what to call this! My partner and I saw an ornament via the internet where in they used a hanger and hung other stars below. We liked the idea but decided to try something else. So instead of a simple wrapped up hanger, we decided to make a frame using tinsel. *Note: This is a 2 to 3 day activity. Let the child do each part per day. It would be tiring to finish them all in just one day. - What you will n...Read More » Tags

Little Paper Plate Angels
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 21st, 2010
Another great craft this holiday season would be to make Christmas angels! But why limit it to the holidays? You can do it all year round! It would even be a wonderful activity for the start of school! We wanted the toddlers to have their own personalized angels, but we wanted it to be different. So with the help of Adobe Photoshop, I made some funky looking faces for the kids by changing their hair color and making them look a little bit like...Read More » Tags

Recycled Christmas Wreath
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 18th, 2010
Who says you can't make a Christmas decor using stuff lying around the house? This week, I decided to let my 8 year old tutee make her own Christmas wreath. I gave her suggestions as to what we can do and she chose to make a bottle cap wreath. It's really easy to make and will sure bring some Christmas cheer when you hang it on the front door. - What you will need Bottle caps Paper plate Green paint and paint brush Glue gun or oth...Read More » Tags

Ding Dong Ding Dong Christmas Bells
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 17th, 2010
Ding dong, ding dong.... Can you hear the Christmas bells? We've had so many activities lined up for the holidays that we no longer knew what do to first and how to make each activity a unique experience for the kids. First, we thought of using cups for the bells and decided to let them paint the cups and decorate them with sequins or craft punch. However, we recently did this in our Christmas tree making activity. So we had to think of something...Read More » Tags

Colorful Mitten Christmas Wreath
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 11th, 2010
I've seen a variety of Christmas wreaths in various blog sites this season. I loved most of the ideas but I wanted to come up with something different and unique. Last year, my kids made a puzzle wreath! It turned out to be really cute and I'll try to post a blog about it as soon as I find those pictures! This year, we wanted to make a hand print wreath but the other class had already done it a week ahead of us. So we thought of something else. M...Read More » Tags

Design your own Christmas Balls
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 9th, 2010
While trying to come up with a cool activity for Christmas, I came across several blogs which shared ways to personalize a Christmas ball ornament. I loved most of them but had a huge problem with materials. I come from the Philippines so several of the materials these blogs suggested were either unavailable or difficult to find. One of the favorite ideas I remember seeing required a transparent Christmas ball that could be opened. All hope is...Read More » Tags

Personalized Santa Ornament
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 4th, 2010
Besides my teaching job in the preschool, I also work with 2 other kids. One age 8, and another age 2. Since Christmas is coming up, my 8 year old tutee asked... or should I say BEGGED that we do some Christmas art. I agreed. (as long as she didn't have much homew0rk). I was trying to come up with activities that they both could do together, but the activities I kept coming up with were those that would be great for a toddler but not for a scho...Read More » Tags

Santa Mittens
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 26th, 2010
Christmas is just around the corner, and it's time to start taking out your Christmas trees and decorations. Store bought decorations are beautiful, but nothing beats personalized ornaments and crafts by the kids! Here's an easy artwork your toddler can do. You could hang it on the tree or just by the door. You could even hang it on your wall! Thanks to House of Baby Piranha for the awesome idea. - What you will need: Red Cardboard P...Read More » Tags
