Great Gift & Fundraising Idea
Snowman Soup
 This holiday gift idea is brought
to us by Veronica who got the idea from Paulette who says, ""I did the JPEG
because several people on my list can actually print this out and use it this way....the
"topper" folds over and gets stapled to the bag with the ingredients in."
A Child's Footprint
This craft features a great gift for Dad on Father's day
or Mom on Mother's Day or a wonderful Christmas gift. This Footprint Craft includes both
the child's footprint, a nice momento, and a wonderful, touching poem. Write the
poem in the shape of a large footprint using waterproof marker. Using watercolors or
watered down tempera paints paint the child's foot and print it over the written poem a
couple of time. After all is dried laminate the piece of paper and attach string on the
back for hanging.
Why just eat pasta, wear it!

Glitter Domes
 One of my favorite decorations for
the holidays is the snow globe. I remember loving those snow globes that were so plentiful
during the holiday season. I loved ( and I still do) shaking them and watching the
colorful glitter fall to the bottom of the dome coating Santa or whatever figure was in
the dome. It was like peering into a fantasy world. These make fabulous gifts for friends,
family, teachers, or for yourself! The materials are simple to find. This is a super craft
for children of all ages.
