Easy Holiday Crafts To Do With the Kids

From: True Aim education

What you'll need:
-A leaf (have your child pick one themselves)
- Sheets of plain white paper
- Glue
- Buttons and other decorations
- Coloring pencils or crayons
- Construction paper for background

How to Do It: Let your kid pick a leaf from the yard, then flatten a piece of white paper over it. Then, have your kid color over the leaf in any color they love. Once the leaf is colored to look like a tree, he can decorate it with fun sparkles and buttons using glue! After it's dry, place the white paper over a piece of colorful construction paper and glue together. Then he can write a holiday message and get it in the mail to Grandma!
