Before Christmas, we have done several crafts using recycled materials.
In November we made Christmas cards using old Christmas cards. We also made Christmas cribs using shoe boxes. We covered them with brown paper and decorated them with cotton wool and scraps of paper. We drew the crib figures and pasted them onto cereal-box cardboard. We then put them in our cribs.
Another craft we made were Christmas crackers. We brought small toys from home and some sweets as well. We made the crackers by wrapping a toilet paper roll in old scraps of wrapping paper, filling it with the toy and sweets and tying the ends with a ribbon.
Finally we also made angels using paper doilies and cereal-box cardboard for the head and wings.

Hmm, and instead of all this material going in to fill our garbage bins, it has gone to good use and pleasant decorations, to what otherwise were items we had to buy. Makes you wonder how much stuff we can use and reuse!
I'm proud that we made lots of cribs and activiets about Christmas!
Thank you Sir Rapa I had a lot of fun this year!!!
