In the lid of the shoebox the children use  a pin to prick a hole. A colored kite paper is glued to the inside of this hole. The bottom and sides in the box are painted. The figures are glued to the bottom of the box. The angels are attached to the lid. Small pieces of straw are laid on the bottom of the box.

     

 

Window decoration angel

For this beautiful window hanger you need a cardboard board, a piece of organza, watercolor, a round woodsie, star stickers, crepe paper and printed paper.
The children first cut a round piece from the middle of the board. Then they color the plate border with gold or silver watercolor. When this is dry, the organza is glued behind the board.

     

From Christmas paper, which you can download below, an elongated triangle is cut for the body. Behind this paper a half cake paper is glued. The angel is glued to the organza on the right side. The hair is a tuft of cotton wool. The face is drawn and movable eyes are used. Star-shaped sticky figures are attached above the little angel. A silver or gold ribbon crepe paper is stapled from above to hang this artwork in front of the window.

   

 

Window decoration with the three wise men from the East.

A beautiful window decoration about the three wise men from the East. The decoration is made with a paper plate.

     

A part of the inside of the paper plate is cut out. After this, the kids paint the arc with blue paint and the floor with sand-colored paint. Some glitters are sprinkled on the wet paint, so that they stick immediately. Now, the kids cut out a star and a picture of the three wise men from the East. These images are glued to the back of the plate. You can also pierce some Christmas lights on batteries through the sky. You can stick the box with batteries at the back of the ground. A nice string at the top ensures that you can hang the craft. You can download the craft below.
