This Christmas break was full of activities, but we still managed to find some time for Christmas crafts. We made cookies a couple of times (no pics), a gingerbread train a shrinky dink Christmas tree(our absolute favorite). Or maybe I should say-my absolute favorite. I loved getting shrinky dinks when I was a kid. I hope Charlie and Molly had as much fun as I did putting it together.
First, you have to make the tree out of pipe cleaners...
...then color the shrinky dink ornaments
...wait for them to shrink in oven
...then decorate the tree
TA-DA! The Shrinky Dink Tree :)
We decided to make a gingerbread train this year instead of a gingerbread house. There were a few more pieces to put together, so we got a little sloppy. We have never been accused of being very crafty in our family. I think you will agree once you see the pictures. M had fun sneaking pieces of candy along the way though!
I don't think Martha Stewart will be calling us anytime soon:)
