Here’s a super easy, fun craft project to create with your little ones. They would make a cute Christmas card or perhaps even a thank-you note. Just trace the bottoms of any plastic container onto a piece of white paper, cut out as many as you would like and provide the kids with paint, glitter, glue, yarn buttons and sequins.
- Trace circles onto white construction paper. Add a tab for the ornament top and cut out.
- Paint paper with various colored paint. I love the metallic tempera paint but regular tempera is great, too.
- Use glue to add craft rhinestones and sequins and glitter.
- Add a pre-tied yarn or ribbon bow.
- Glue onto paper (construction paper, greeting card, etc.)
Teacher Tip:I used a colored sheet of 12″ x 9″ paper as their table protector and they used the same paper to “carry” their completed ornaments to the drying rack. Then after the pieces dried, I turned the paper over, glued on the ornaments and wrote their names in silver pen.
Brilliant use of paper, I think!

Cute I like this, we'll have to try it!
Another great idea for me and my granddaughter today! Always can count on you! Thank you!
My kindergartener is going to love this project! Now I know what we'll do tomorrow. Thanks, Patty!
I did this lesson with first grade this year…it was fun and they loved it!
I’m definetly doing this one with my Kinders. I teach at 3 schools with a total of 1,200 kids. This looks easy and fabulous.
