These simple Christmas wreaths made from tissue paper, glue, markers, and paper bags were another library craft! I especially like Emma’s marker wreath (top left). Emma made the left wreaths (top and bottom), Johnny made the middle ones (top and bottom), and Lily made the top right wreath on her own, and the bottom one with a lot of help from me. I was surprised that Johnny went with traditional colors for both of his wreaths; he was very serious about only using red and green!

What a nice idea. I’m hoping that I have a few spare days when school breaks up to set the kids to work on some more ornaments.

That’s a great idea. We’re making snowflakes this afternoon… I didn’t have any art supplies, but wanted to do something fun.

I love seeing how art abilities progress over time – I think all three kids really applied themselves to this craft.

I remember making these when I was a kid. It was my favorite project, putting the little bits of tissue on a pencil and dipping them in the glue, sticking them all around the wreath. I do like seeing how your kids do their crafts differently at different ages and stages!
Library crafts can be some of the best things
