I love the Christmas crafts. I still make some every year, even though I’m not a kid anymore (far from it lol) and will definitely do them with my kids when I have them. I distinctly remember making those big, 3D snowflakes in like 3rd grade and now I make mini ones and hang them through the house.

Another craft I did when I was in preschool was a hot cocoa mug- and my parents still have it lol.

To make it, you take one of those dixie cups (the ones used for brushing teeth) and dip it in red, green or white paint. Then let it dry and punch a hole on one side for a ribbon. Then you mold a handle out of clay or make it in paper and hot glue it to the side. For the hot cocoa, put pom poms almost to the top and pour brown paint in until it covers the pom poms- this makes it look like liquid. Next, put some white pom poms for marshmellows, tie a ribbon in the hole and decorate the mug as you want. It’s so cute.
