DLTK's Holiday Activities for Kids
Stained Glass Poppy Craft

Use this as a craft you can hang in your window or on the fridge.  We made ours a red and green poppy, but you could make white with a black center or any other colors you like.

Optional:  use clear contact paper instead of waxed paper.  This is a bit more expensive, but eliminates the need for glue so is not as messy.
