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:
 |
paint, |
 |
Christmas wrapping paper, |
 |
Christmas stickers. |
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). |
