Making Ornaments In The Primary Classroom

Making ornaments

Yesterday, I posted a blog about the gifts I got my kids and their parents. I showed a picture of two ornaments we made and said I’d explain them today!  Here is a closer look at our adventure of making ornaments in the primary classroom!

Ornament #1

Oriental Trading Foam Ornament

Last month, I wrote a post on how to use Oriental Trading products for easy age-appropriate crafting for young students. Below, you can see my kids hard at work making ornaments in the primary classroom.

And here’s the back of ornament where the writing will go.

I had my room mom come in and glue all the materials together. Then, students write their names on the ornament, and I write the year!

I took a picture of the kids with a Santa hat on in front of our school Christmas tree. Then, I hot glued the picture to the front of the CD.

I didn’t get pictures of this, but I set up six kids at my back table at one time. They painted on glue around their pictures. Then, I sprinkled glitter around their pictures!
