Christmas Craft for 2-8 Year Olds...
I need a good Christmas party craft idea for 2 two year olds, a five year old and an 8 year old. We already made handprint ornaments and plan on coloring a picture, plus making cookies and doing a gingerbread house. I do in-home childcare and two of the kids are mine, and two are sisters that I watch. Thanks in advance!
Note: No more handprint stuff. I want to do something that they can do themselves.

Check out www.familyfun.com ~ I've found numerous holiday activites on that site.
Good luck!

Christmas shrinky dinks (remember those?) They color them and you bake them (fun to watch) and it is so cool. My non-artsy boys love them!

What about die-cutting a few Christmas trees and giving them stickers (dots for balls, snowflakes) to decorate their trees...Or you could give them a few small rectangles for bookmarks and have them put stickers on those

When my son was two I printed off a picture of Santa. Then I gave him a small bowl filled with glue and a bag of cotton balls. He dipped the cotton balls in the glue and put on Santa's beard. He had a ball and could do it all by himself. We did the same idea with snowmen pictures and packing peanuts. He loved to crunch them up, so I let him use a paintbrush and put the glue on the snowman then then crunch away. He is four and we still hang those up...although the snowman is getting pretty naked. :)
