Christmas Crafts includes: Trees (3 different designs), Santa Sleigh and a Santa Tree
Each craft is made from one piece of paper (8 1/2 x 14)
These items are a lot of fun to create! Students will love them.
The Santa Tree has a space on the back where students can write a message to Santa.
I have included step-by-step directions and visuals to help you create these crafts.
All students require are scissors, coloring pencils and glue.
Have made sure that when I wrote on a craft it says either Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. Just want to keep everyone happy.
And ... it stands up!!! I love this craft!
This looks just like a sports locker ... only it smells a lot better! The locker stands up so that Dad can set it up on his desk or night stand. I have included an area at the back of the locker for students to write a message to Dad / Grandpa / Uncle.
Includes step-by-step instructions, decorations and templates needed to Build Dad a Sports Locker! All students have to do is color, cut and glue! Templates included: Sports locker, stand, graphics for basketball, hockey, golf, football, rugby, soccer, baseball, soccer and lacrosse!
Requires: Paper, glue, coloring pencils and scissors. I made this Sports Locker with regular paper, just made sure I photocopied the locker template on a colored piece of paper as I thought it looked better. I would recommend using light cardstock for the stand but, again, regular paper works because that is what I used! Cardstock just looks a bit better!!
Dads will love this item!!! Enjoy and Happy Father's Day!

This is for MOM / MUM or a generic banner students can use for a gift for Grandma, Aunt, etc.
These MOM Banners are a great Mother's Day craft that your students will love to create and the Mom's will love to receive. I made sure to create a template that is generic for students who want to create for a female other than Mom.
There are 7 banner options to choose from. I have included step-by-step directions and visuals to help you create these banners. I have also provided a template for students to write a message to a loved one.
All students require are scissors, coloring pencils and glue.
You need to have 1 1/2" ribbon for each student and a hoop to hang the banner. I buy bracelets at the dollar store. They come 4 or more in a pack for $1. And, they are large enough to fit around most door knobs so MOM can hang her banner on her office door. You do need to cut squares (4 x 4) ahead of time for students or bring the heavy cardstock to class and have your students cut those squares. All other templates are included in the package, all you have to do is photocopy.
Note: I think this is a great craft for most / all grade levels. The one you see in the preview is the one my nephew (grade 4) made for his 48 year old mom. She loved it!!!
