This week we again sang our selection of Christmas songs and I decided it would be nice to make a proper keepsake craft either for our toddlers to keep or to give as a Christmas gift. Little Imp has decided that she would like to give hers to her grandparents and so it is now wrapped and under the tree :0)
Obviously you can buy special acrylic paints to use on canvases but these don't really mix well with toddlers so we just used our usual washable poster paints in a variety of colours. Our toddlers used their handprints to make the tree itself and fingerprints for the baubles. They then added the trunk, star and a pot if they wanted on using a bristle or foam brush.
I think the results are fab and there will definitely be one delighted set of grandparents in our house on Christmas Day :0)
We have one more Christmassy toddler session to go before the big day arrives but until then Happy singing and crafting! :0)
