 It
is always nice to have Christmas art projects and crafts to display
around your classroom for the holidays. Like snowflakes and snowmen
and winter scenes. The classroom can be decorated with these types
of Christmas art projects and crafts by the teacher alone or the
children can get involved with your Christmas art projects and crafts.
Snowflakes
Some Christmas art projects and crafts that can be done either alone
or with the students are things such as snowflakes to hang from
the ceiling. Snowflakes are not costly and do not take much time
to make, especially if you get the students involved. If you get
the students involved with such Christmas art crafts you can make
a fun mess with glitter! The cleanup is relatively easy—just
get a vacuum.
Personalized Glass Ornaments
Personalized glass ornaments are another Christmas art project that
can be fun for older students as well as younger ones. The new variety
and colors of paint pens make personalized ornaments quick, easy
and fun. Of course, you can use other things to decorate your ornaments
like puff paints or glue and glitter.
Use a variety of colors for clear bulbs, or for brightly colored
bulbs you can have the children use metallic-colored paint pens.
These Christmas art projects/crafts will make for a stunning gift,
they can be taken home for the children to decorate their own tree,
or they can be an addition to your own classroom tree. Personalized
ornaments are Christmas art projects that take little time and are
fun to do. If you want make it a longer craft session and have the
students make several of these ornaments. They can give them to
parents or grandparents as Christmas gifts—or use them right
away.
You will need:
Solid matte colored or clear glass ornaments
Assorted color paint pens that will work on glass surfaces
Assorted cups
Ribbon in coordinating colors
First: Cover your work surface with newspapers for this potentially
messy Christmas art project.
Second: Set out all your supplies and have the students decide which
color pens you want to use with which ornaments and think about
a rough design. You may want to have the children draw their ideas
for Christmas art projects and crafts out on paper first.
Third: Place each ornament in the top of a cup for a sturdy working
surface. Make sure to let the paint dry completely before turning
it on the cup.
Fourth: Once the ornament is decorated and the paint is dried, you
have made a great Christmas art project or craft with your class.
If you want to, attach a big bow to the top of each ornament.
Please remember, paint pens are very toxic, you must use constant
supervision when working with younger children. If you have a large
class of younger children—get a couple of helpers to assist
you with your Christmas art projects and crafts.
