Oh this is a neat idea. My kids love the glitter projects and go to town with the glitter, I never seem to buy enough.

Love Glitter & Love Christmas!! It's a Wonderful Time of Year!! We have glitter in the carpet, in the seams of the wood floors, in the toy box, and just about everywhere!! And now I HAVE to make the stockings tomorrow, so we will have some more around tomorrow. Oh well... :)

Oh, they are so cute! I bet they loved making them and a great fine motor activity thrown in there with the craft. We made glitter snowflakes for the tree. Anything with glitter makes the girls SMILE! The little scraps of paper from the snowflakes drove my hubby a little bonkers. Ha, Ha!

I enjoyed making these too, when I had my own class. Glitter of course is always a big hit!
I start earlier in the year with lacing projects so that by Christmas the kids have an "idea" of how to do it, then it's not such a "freak out."
Here some ideas I've used for even more practice....
*"lacing letter L's" just cut a large "L" out of poster board, punch holes around edges, tie yarn to "L" and lace.
*"Mittens" of course to go along with the Mitten book.
*"Lacing the First Letter of child's name...same as "L" We do this at the beginning of school and letters get "sewed" all over ;)
* Sewing on burlap...just give each child a not too big, not too small piece and let them "sew" This one is just a lot of fun!

Love your blog! I'm just starting out and you are one of my fave's! Thanks for the wonderful share!

The other day my niece and two of her friends came over after school and after a bit complained of being bored. I suggested they go over to my studio and drag out the art box. What did they pick - the chose the glitter.

Needless to say, I now have glitter all over my desk, in the drawers, on my chairs, in the drawers,and across the floor. I don't think it is possible to get all that glitter to every go away:) But I am the "cool" aunt - just because I had the glitter!

Glitter is always fun for crafts. What is not so fun is when one child decides to dump it in another child's hair.

The stockings do look great.

What I love best about using glitter is that I wind up with it in my hair and beard then spend the rest of the day running errands like that. No one ever mentions it, but of course they notice. I wonder what they think about me? =)
