Ornament Making Your Own Ornament • Have your child color the front and back of the ornament. • When he has finished coloring the ornament, cut out the front and the back, following along the dotted lines. • If you’d like to make the ornament a bit sturdier: • You can create a third layer for the ornament by tracing around either the front or the back image on a piece of cardboard or card stock to transfer the shape to the cardboard or card stock. • Then cut out the shape you’ve traced on the cardboard or card stock. • Glue the cardboard or card stock shape to the back of the front image of the ornament so that the colored side faces out. • Glue the front image to the back image so that the colored sides face outward and the features match up.
What You’ll Need: • Safety scissors
• Let the glue on your ornament dry.
• Washable crayons or markers
• Once the glue has dried, punch out the hole at the top of the ornament.
• Glue or glue stick • String or yarn
• Cut a piece of string or yarn at least 6” in length.
• A hole punch
• Thread the string through the hole at the top of the ornament. • Tie the two ends of the string together to create a loop.
