A CRAFT for children too young to handle hot popcorn
mixtures
Materials Needed:
Popcorn
Construction Paper
Glue
Crayons or Markers
Scraps of ribbon, material, buttons, twigs, dried
flowers, bits of this and that
Directions:
Make some popcorn and glue onto the construction
paper
IDEAS
Snowman:
Cut three construction paper circles, small for the
head, medium for the tummy and larger for the
bottom. Glue popcorn onto the circles. Using a
marker or construction paper, make the eyes, nose,
buttons and man's hat, and twigs for the arms; scrap
of material makes the scarf.
Snowlady:
Use the same directions but make it a lady's hat by
adding ribbon; don't forget her earrings and
necklace.
Santa Claus:
Draw Santa on construction paper, then glue cut-up
construction paper pieces to make his hat, belt,
buttons, boots. Glue popcorn for his beard and hair
and fur trim of his coat and hat.
Holiday Sheep:
Glue small round clusters of popcorn onto the middle
of a piece of white construction paper. Draw a
sheep's head and legs to create a fluffy sheep.
Winter Scene:
Using one piece of white construction paper, cut and
paste strips of brown construction paper around the
four edges to create a frame. Make a construction
paper house and glue to white paper. Break up some
popcorn into smaller pieces and use to make
Christmas trees and a snowman in the yard, snow on
the roof and on the lawn. Blue construction paper
for the sky and perhaps some fluffy clouds. Is it
snowing? Glue teeny pieces of popcorn all over the
paper to create a snowy effect.
Wreath & Christmas Trees:
Using a Jell-O Popcorn recipe (below), make green
popcorn; glue onto construction paper to form a
wreath or tree. Decorate with bits of ribbon and
construction paper shapes of stars, angels, toys.
Don't forget some construction paper gifts under and
around the tree.
Imagination:
Give your child a theme, such as holiday animals,
and let them create their own masterpieces!
