Method:
Cut a band of red construction paper (about 2-3 inches wide). Measure the length to fit the child's head and then staple at the appropriate length. Using 2 pieces of brown construction paper stacked together, trace one of the child's hands. Then cut out. Separate the hands and then staple each one to the red band towards the front, just a little apart from each other.

4.Bead Snowflakes Craft:

Materials Needed:
Florist wire; Glue gun; Glass beads; Cotton yarn.
Method:
Cut florist wire into 3 equal strips. Using a glue gun, glue the 3 strips together to form a star shape. Adult supervision is required when the kids use the glue gun. The other option is that an adult do the first two steps and once the structure of the snowflake is done, the child can add the beads and yarn. Once the glue has set, thread glass beads onto the wire. At the end of each wire after the last bead, bend the wire back to form a loop to stop the beads coming off. To make an inner circle, tie a piece of strong thread to one piece of wire about 3 or 4 beads up from the center. Thread beads onto the thread, winding the thread around each wire arm to keep it in place, tying the threads together to close.
