DLTK's Holiday Activities
Beaver Wreath
Craft
Here is a Christmas ornament with a Canadian twist!
But if you don't like beavers, you could call it a woodchuck (er,
I mention this because when my daughter first saw it she exclaimed
"mommy what a cute woodchuck" *grin*). The craft is also good
for "Beaver" troops (part of the boy scout movement).

Materials:
-
a printer,
-
a piece of paper... I always prefer to use a heavy paper
(like construction paper), but it isn't necessary.
-
some crayons, paint, markers or pencil crayons,
-
scissors,
-
ribbon, string or wool,
-
glue,
-
something hard as a base, like cardboard, a margarine
container lid or a frozen juice can lid.
Optional materials:
Instructions
-
Print out the template of choice.
-
Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template
pieces.
-
Cut a circle about the right size for the wreath (doesn't
have to be exact) from cardboard or a margarine container lid.
Or just use a frozen juice can lid.
-
Either paint the circle a Christmas colour or cover
with gift wrap or coloured paper.
-
Glue the wreath onto the circle.
-
Glue the beaver into the center of the wreath and the
hat onto the beaver.
-
Glue the Christmas message onto the top or bottom of
the wreath.
-
Decorate further (as desired) with Christmas stickers.
-
Attach a string, ribbon or wool as a hanger so you can
hang on the Christmas tree (either by poking a hole in the base and
threading the string through or by attaching well with tape).
-
Close the template window after printing to return to
this screen.
-
Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting
the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in
most browsers).
