Christmas Countdown - 10 Days to Go!

10 Days 'til Christmas!!!

We are down to 10 days, and the kids are getting wild! Admittedly, my boys seemed to be particularly wild today and I thought I was going to lose my mind. Thankfully, I had this little activity up my sleeve, and I was able to sit them down to work on it, buying myself a few minutes of peace. :) Hopefully it can be helpful in your home too!

Fruit Loop Wreath

We have made fruit loop wreaths each year for the past several years, and the kids love it every time. They are simple enough to make that they can do it on their own, and it is fun for them to have something they made themselves that they can add to the Christmas tree!

Materials

*Fruit Loops cereal

*pipe cleaners

The instructions are very simple! Give each child a small dish of fruit loops and a pipe cleaner. Have them string the fruit loops onto the pipe cleaner until it is filled, leaving a small space at each end. The children can arrange the cereal randomly, or you could have them create patterns with their cereal. Once finished, loop the pipe cleaner into a circle and twist the ends together to make a wreath. Hang the wreaths on the tree or around the house, or just snack on them! :)

Materials needed for tomorrow:

*blue construction paper

*white paint

*markers
