O' Christmas Tree

I made this cute Christmas tree today. It is super easy and can be made with many different materials.

I used a Styrofoam cone (from the Dollar Tree) and fluffy yarn (I do not know it's "Real" name.)

You could use regular yarn , metallic yarn or mini bead garland.
I decorated with pom-poms but beads would work well also. For the topper I twisted a paper clip and pushed it into the cone.

I think this would also be cute if you cut some of the bottom of the cone off (about 1/2 way) and used it for a place card holder.

Super Easy Volcanos

Here is another repost, we are doing bugs at preschool, so this fits right into what we are doing. I found this cute craft on the Better Homes and Garden website. My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
