In our home we are always looking for ways to play and learn with nature. So, during the holidays you will often find our family outside foraging for craft supplies in our own backyard...well, technically in the park...but you get the idea. Today I would love to share with you how to make a lovely holiday decoration that uses very simple supplies, twigs and yarn.
scissors
1. Bend and twist the vine-like twig into a circle.
3. Make a ball of yarn, that is easily held in your child's hand.
8. Use the glue gun to adhere the pieces together and create the peace symbol.

I just love these! I had a similar project in mind, but wasn't sure how it would turn out. You've inspired me to go for it!

Thanks Jen! Today when we walk down to the library we'll be seeking out twigs for ornament making.

I love how the yarn over the twig looks! What a great activity for working those small motor muscles.
