Okay, it's only Elmer's School Glue, but it can make little girls sooooo happy.
Livi and her friend Gracie (Leah's daughter) spent Saturday together and we started in on some Christmas crafts. The foam angels are a wee bit dopey, but the Christmas Trees with button ornaments were a hit.

All that was needed was a pre-cut tree from Michael's (50 cents), some green paint, brown paint, lots of buttons and, of course, the Elmer's glue.
Didn't you just love doing stuff like this when you were 5? Let me know if you have any good easy craft ideas. (Um, and I don't sew or do scrapbooking, so I do mean EASY!)

cute! hey, maybe i get to meet your family soon!!
ah, the angels...we did those in Haiti! i think the nannies enjoyed that one...
looks like the girls had fun!
A Christmas wreath made out of puzzle pieces.
Glue the puzzle pieces together in the shape of a wreath. Paint green. Add bow, glitter, and tiny red pom poms. Glue a ribbon hanger on back. And if you really want to impress, glue a picture to the back so it can be viewed thru the center of the wreath.
Ohhhhh - we will have to try that one! We even have some incomplete puzzles I was going to toss...
There are some cool craft ideas here:

I like tracing the foot and the hands to make a reindeer.
Also..what about Christmas cards? That was always one of my favorite crafts.
What cute girls! :)
Costco and Sam's Club have a great gingerbread house kit complete with candy, frosting and cutouts. My girls completed one all by themselves.
You can even display it and others will think you slaved over the oven baking the gingerbread. Very tricky!
Happy Holidays!

Looks like they had a good time doing the crafts. I'm with you on the no sewing & scrapbooking thing!
salt dough ornaments.
2 cups of salt, one cut of water and one cup of flour. mix, roll, cut with cookie cutter, let air dry, paint, and hang ribbon on back with hot glue gun! Fun, easy and most of all cheap!
Boy do we have some cute little girls!
Amen Leah! And Sarah I am totally going to do the salt dough thing next week!
