Mouse Ornament inspired by Mouse’s Christmas Gift

This week I teamed up with some author friends Laura Sassi, Jill Roman Lord, and Tama Fortner to create ornaments inspired by our picture books. It was loads of fun! You can see all of the the ornament ideas on my Instagram or Facebook page.

I had seen the idea many places, but I had never tried it for myself. I recruited my daughter Chelsea to help me. We created this YouTube how-to video. We had so much fun making it!

Hope you can use the idea with your family!

Merry Christmas!

Need a photo frame craft for kids?

This is an sample craft from my Free Downloadable Teaching Guide/Activity Kit available to accompany my book Mouse’s Christmas Gift.

Isn’t Mouse cute?

Step 1: Collect the needed items.

Idea: Let the kids decorate their own frame. You can purchase any Christmas foamies or use markers.

Step 2: Take the photos. Option: Have the kids pose with a battery operated candle, or the book.
Step 3: Print pictures, attach pictures to the frames, and give to the families the following meeting.

Here is a SNEAK PEEK!

It’s easy! Draw a face on a small clothespin and wrap with a piece of felt. Tie with a string. Then use a tissue tube cut in half to make the manger. 

This sweet friend of mine enjoyed it! I bet your child will, too!
