Comin'' at you with your super-easy, super-cute Christmas craft of the day.

Remember the super-sweet gingerbread man and house craft I shared with you a couple of weeks ago?

Well, this one's similar but quite possibly even cuter.

Mmmm... yah. It's definitely cuter.

Just as easy though, so click the link below to check it out!

I have the most beautiful tissue paper stained glass project to share with you today.

You only need tissue paper and popsicle sticks to make them, but holy moly, they look just like real stained glass!

Have the kids make a whole bunch to decorate a window in your home or classroom.

What a cheery pop of colour on a dreary winter day.

I have another absolutely precious kid-made ornament to share with you.

I hope you're ok with me providing you with these daily crafts this month! We always shoot for one ornament per day from December 1 -24th, so hopefully we're inspiring you to do the same.

I like to keep them easy so they're totally do-able - minimal supplies, minimal mess, and this one is a winner.

Great for fine motor development, and look how gorgeous it is!
