Okay crafty Mama’s…now’s the time when you should be strutting your stuff and making all kinds of homemade goodies and presents for the holiday season. While we’re almost half-way through December, Mama couldn’t let the month go by without sharing Mama’s one idea for the month that we actually managed to make. Mama will also say that while this is great for December and doing activities surrounding the holidays…you can almost do this any month of the year by using different shapes to match the season to write down different activities to do for the month. So without further introduction….here’s Mama’s December Activity Wreath…TA DA!
It’s super easy to make using a wire wreath, clothespins and any shape of paper you want to write down the activities. For the holidays, Mama wrote things like: watch a Christmas movie, make popcorn, make hot chocolate, go for a drive and look at the lights, make ornaments, bake cookies and deliver to a neighbor, buy a toy for a child in need, sing Christmas carols, wrap Christmas presents, make candy cane reindeer…
Really you can add any activity that your family enjoys doing together during the holidays or perhaps would like to DO but never get around to doing.
Here’s the supplies Mama used: Paper Source Bookboard Wreath Form, $5.95 for 2; red and white construction paper; and clothespins (you can paint them if you want to…Mama did!).
The kids love taking a look at the wreath and choosing an activity a day to celebrate the holidays!
What will you add to your activity wreath?
My philosophy is simple: just because you're a mom doesn't mean you have to forgo style or your life. You can do it all with a little help from Mama. Mama makes life easier by doing all the shopping, crafting and ranting for you because really...what Mama has the time for that?! Mama will not lie, I can bake but if you're looking for cooking tips you might be better off going someplace else!
