Santa Christmas Countdown

My mother-in-law made these with my kids over the weekend and I wanted to share it with you all! It takes so little--lined paper, red construction paper, and white construction paper. Add some scissors and glue. Then you just number the paper lines! Cut one line off each day.

Turkey Lacing Craft

This is an art project and a fine motor skills project all in one!

You need:

• paper bag or brown paper
• colored paper
• glue
• scissors
• hole punch
• yarn

Cut out the pieces. Punch holes around the perimeter of the turkey. 

Have your child assemble the turkey. When she is done, have her string the yarn through the holes.
