A friend of mine suggested we do a party for the kids to make gifts this year, and I think it is a great idea. I know my kids will love it, and we can get a lot done in a short period of time if we plan ahead a bit. To that end, here some projects we may want to do at our party, which will be on December 10th.
- Cool ornaments

- Water decals on ceramic mugs–I am trying to convince the boy to do original art for this one; he is oddly reluctant
- Make some salt dough ornaments ahead for painting
- Felt coasters
- Scrap-supply magnets–these are so cute, and I think the kids would have fun making them
- Glittery snowflake ornaments
- Geometric soaps–I am iffy on giving soaps as gifts, but it looks like something the kids would enjoy doing
- This dragonfly craft might be fun for my 14 year old and her friends
This list seems a bit heavy on the ornaments, but I think we can probably pick a few crafts from this list and set up a nice party. I need to look at the supply lists and see if we need to do prep work before the party for these to help narrow the list down. I should probably also consult with the kids and my fellow party giver. I think this is a good starting point, though.
I like the paint-filled glass ornaments. Very pretty!!
I like that one, too, Roni, although I might try to find clear plastic ornaments rather than glass for the kids.
That Dragonfly one is cool.
