  Toddler
Christmas or Hanukkah Decoration!
Easy. Easy. Easy. It kind of looks like a candle
when there is light behind it...and your toddler will
have fun making it! For this activity you'll need an old
infant plastic disposable spoon. ( or any other plastic
feeding spoon). Cut up some green and red felt ( or gold
and blue) into
small triangles. Then cut a thin strip of white felt
about 6-8 inches long. Now put glue on the front of the
handle of the spoon and let your toddler place some
green and red felt pieces to cover it up. Then turn it
over and do the same on the back of the handle. Now put
some glue on the spoon head and coil up the strip of
white felt. Now let your toddler place that coil on the
spoon head. Lastly, take some thin ribbon/string and tie
it around the base of the spoon head. You can tie the
other end of the ribbon to a paperclip or just make a
loop to hang it on the tree ( or from a suction cup
hanger on the window, as in the photo). EXCELLENT JOB!
Supplies Needed-
- small plastic
disposable feeding spoon
- green, red, (or gold and blue) white felt
- scissors
- glue
- ribbon/string
Tips/Suggestions-
- While your toddler is putting the green and red
felt pieces on, talk about each color. Maybe say "
Hey, Aiden, try to put a green piece there and a red
piece below it."
- You can also count the number of red pieces and green
pieces.
- These are great gifts to make for the relatives and
tie to presents as decoration!
