The first picture is a class invitation Kirsten's tutor helped her put together. They are having a Christmas class tea on Thursday, Dec. 18th, in the morning for parents and class students in her class. [The teacher went to Ben Franklin and had the Christmas tree lights punched.] The tutor put the glue on the invitation and Kirsten hand over hand pressed them onto the invitation. The whole class made these. I thought it was so cute!
This is a picture of a snowman that I made. I am going to teach Kirsten's class to do this in January. It's Kirsten's Life Skills class and they are handicapped so this is a fun activity for them to do. I have the hat and scarf already cut out for them. They will put their own cotton balls on their snowmen.
This picture is of the Santa I just showed them in class last week. I had precut the holly for them. The kids cut around the line of the Santa hat I had for them. They can do some cutting, but not fine and tedious cutting. The kids loved the coloring portion and loved the glue and cotton balls! They were all so happy with their finished Santas! Kirsten's tutor colored her picture and put the glue on and Kirsten put the cotton balls on hand over hand. She's fussy about her hands getting anything on them that is remotely sticky or messy!
This last picture is of a Hand Christmas tree that Kirsten and I just did this afternoon. I saw Emily Guptill's blog and I was so impressed with the Hand Christmas Tree that I just had to make one today! I traced over Kirsten's hand onto green construction paper. Again, Kirsten doesn't like her hands messed with. I put the glue on her paper hands and she pressed them together with my hands over her hands. Then I just used ribbon that I had, cut it and put glue dots all over her tree. I used the eraser end of a pencil to pick up the bits and pieces and put them onto her glue dots on her tree. I then put some glue on a picture frame I copied from a program I have. Kirsten pressed her tree onto the frame. When we were finished she had the 'biggest smile' on her face! :o) She loved her tree!
I love to look at Emily's blogs for her crafts and food. She does such an awesome job with Mathew!

What fun crafts, I know the girls would have fun doing those, if only I could find the energy. Maybe there'll be some sort of Christmas miracle and I'll get around to letting them do one.
Those are so cute. I love the Christmas lights invitation...and I might have to do the cotton ball snowman with Matthew. Very cute! It sounds like Kirsten had a fun time doing the crafts. Love that!
Sounds like Kirsty has a great class at her new school! And I love all the things you two are making!
