On the seventh day of Christmas Break encourage your kids to spend some creative time decorating their bedroom doors.
Supplies You Will Need
large piece of butcher or art paper the size of your kid's bedroom doors OR wrapping paper to cover the door
construction paper
fabric scraps
glitter
novelty items
string
paints
makers
glue or tape
scissors
notepad and pencil
Here's a fun way to give kids free reign to their artistic impulses while adding a holiday touch to your home. With a door-sized piece of paper and a few art supplies, your kids will keep busy an entire afternoon completing this project.
Lay paper flat across your work surface. If your children share a room, you may divide the paper into parts with a pencil line so each child has a "space," or the kids may wish to work together to create a design. Use construction paper, glitter, paints and other available art supplies to make a colorful holiday picture. For extra fun, add a "mailbox" to the lower portion of the paper by attaching a large envelope and a notepad with a pencil on a string. Throughout the holiday season, family members and guests can write greetings to the child. Kids always love to get note, especially those that praise them for accomplishments, compliment them for kindness to others, and communicate to them how much they are loved. When the project is finished and dry, hang the decorated paper on the bedroom door with masking tape or small nails. You might string mini lights around the doorway to draw attention to the door.
