I know I've talked about the candy...Go for it. I know I've talked about the candy cane craft but I can't seem to find an actual picture of one that I've made. So here's google to my rescue. https://www.craftsuppliesforless.com/images/candy-cane-tri-bead-ornament.jpg<br /><br />You use pipe cleaner and tri-beads that you can find at Michaels (or any craft store). They are great for fine motor practice because the pipe cleaner is stiff and easy to put the beads on. Wouldn't recommend them if Anne still puts things in her mouth. But Hank might like it since he can come up with all sorts of color patterns (math).<br /><br />Just crimp an end and have them push them on. Then crimp the other end. And then bend into shape. Hangs fine that way on the tree. I like to cut the pipe cleaner in half. Looks better that way. My mom taught me this craft when I was a kid.Deltaflutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489950329698009256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-85218281706893337272013-12-05T15:12:51.181-05:002013-12-05T15:12:51.181-05:00love love love!!

Tonight we're ...I've got Advent fever too. Tonight we're making cookies. Tomorrow the boys will find some Christmas books and chocolate coins in their stockings and candy canes (bishop's staff thingy reference) on the Jesse tree. Than HB and I will make a candy cane craft and possibly a stocking craft while his brother naps.<br /><br />I think we need to start a support group. ;)Deltaflutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489950329698009256noreply@blogger.com
