On the Art Shelves in December

December 15, 2013 By Seemi Abdullah

Here are some of the simple activities we have on our art shelves this month.

Simple preschool art skills for Christmas and December

pipecleaner-candy-canes

Making little candy canes with left over pipe cleaner bits

december-pinpunching

Lots of pinpunching variations out this month!  Perfect for making Holiday cards.  I love how sweet the santa hat and stocking look with the cotton glued on.

gluing-on-a-dot-christmas-tree-card

This is a great gluing activity.  The children first have to grade the strips by length and glue them on the card.  They can then decorate the tree by gluing spangles and sequins onto the dots.  Gluing on a dot keeps the activity under control… those spangles are extremely attractive!

 

On the Sewing Shelves

december-necklace

Stringing red and green (and yellow) pasta to make a pattern necklace.

december-ribbon-weaving

Some Christmas-y ribbons for our ribbon weaving work

christmas-wreath-sewing-card

A Christmas wreath sewing plate

Lots more ideas on our December Pinterest Board!
