We love a good craft challenge, so of course we were excited to take part in a project with Wynsors to come up with a Christmas craft. We were sent a lovely box full of craft supplies and a few fun goodies for the kids too (more about those later).
Making Button Reindeer Christmas Cards
- brown buttons
- red buttons
- white card
- glue
- markers
I decided on button reindeer to go with a sort of Night Before Christmas theme. So we read the story before starting on our crafts. Little do the children know I was also inspired by the lovely goodies that Wynsors sent us which will be part of their Christmas Eve presents. We like to give the children a special gift on Christmas Eve which always includes pyjamas, a Christmas book and a few extras. This year they will also be getting slippers from Wynsors, these cute Paw Patrol Skye slippers for Ivy and super cool Avengers slippers for Ethan. They'll also get some chocolates and reindeer hot chocolate pouches.
Ivy took a different approach, she just stuck loads of buttons all over the card! She drew a little bit with the markers, but when I suggested drawing antlers and bodies for the reindeer she wasn't interested. But that's the beauty of a process art or invitation to create project, it doesn't matter what the final product looks like, all that matters is the fun that they had and the skills that they worked on while they created.
Ethan and Ivy's cards both turned out very different, but both fantastic! I am sure that the recipients of these cards will be very excited to get them. Maybe we'll use them as thank you cards to send Santa or family after Christmas.
