Christmas is almost here! It is certainly called the crazy season for a reason! Have you been shopping lately? Oh my goodness it’s bedlam here in NSW, I bet it’s the same where you’re from!
It’s this craziness that reminds me I should be more organized each year, and still… here I am with half of everything done! Are you the same? There’s just so much to do!
To make things a little easier, I wanted to help you out with some Christmas card ideas that your students could make for their loved ones or friends.
This card is inspired by Christmas lights and uses bottle caps to create each light.
I have used ribbon for the cord, but if you like students could use string, wool or just draw the lines.
I blogged about it over at my collaborative blog; Elementary Chalkboard. You will find the steps to create this card here.
Created by Clever Classroom via Elementary Chalkboard.
