My 3rd graders were asked to create an ornament using only
things they already had at home- butter tub lids, old cards, left over
materials, CD's, small toys... Each child's ornament was then hung on our

beautiful! |

jingle bell and some glittery antlers and you have a perfect gift for
parents, relative, friends, or use a party favors. We wrote
"Merry Christmas from your little DEAR!" on a red hear and attached it to
the back side of the can (sorry no photo). Then we dipped pretzels in
chocolate and red and green sprinkles to fill each deer can. These
were perfect Christmas gifts for the parents of my students. |
