Cover the Grinch with Compliments!

A friend found this idea on pinterest and recommended the idea to me.  So, you know me I totally took her up on it!  Students are encouraged to take a heart and write a compliment when they witness a kind deed during the holiday season!  I can't wait to see how it turns out at the end of December!:)

2011 Christmas Ornaments



Each year the kids and I make ornaments for each set of their grandparents. This year we made snowman handprint ornaments. I searched and searched for a way to embellish them online, but could only find bits and pieces I liked, so I created my own;)


I bought the balls last year on the after Christmas sale. I ised acryilc paint for their hands and paint pens to create the hats, face, scarf, and buttons. I then used a toothpick to create the tiny orange carrot noses:) I had left over glitter scrapbooking paper, so I cut small strips and hot glued them on the hats to give them some dimension. I thought they turned out super cute!!!
