kids ornament crafts
My niece and I had some quality crafting time over Thanksgiving. What we did:
- pipe cleaner candy cane
- ornaments made from drawings. She drew a picture on fabric with some markers, which I sewed to a backing. Turn inside out, stuff, then sew the hole and add a hanger. My mom still has a couple like this that I made when I was little.
- embroidery. She drew a picture on fabric with water-cleanup markers, then outlined it with a running stitch. The star is her first one! The dog's still in progress. Once it's done, you can rinse out the marker so just the embroidery remains.

what a fantastic idea! I will have to try this with Emily (she is 2 and is still in the scribbling phase but I can't wait for her cute little drawing stage)!

Wow -- Incredible -- Wish I could do that...
Your niece has real talent -- I can see the relation.
