This time we made toilet paper roll poinsettias. It was a new Advent activity for the kids.
They got to play with paint so everyone had a great time!
See the tongue? He was thinking hard!
Elias enjoyed himself but may have gotten more paint on his hand than on the poinsettia.
Our poinsettias, all glued and glittered and set out to dry.
Addilyn, Elias, and I worked on making origami stars
Elias seemed to really enjoy helping out (I would fold and he would crease). He was very proud of his finished stars.
We tried to make the family pepparkakor recipe using gluten-free flour. It was a little dry and crumbly. We added an egg to half of the dough and that helped the dough stick together very nicely. The egg didn't even affect the texture all that much. Yay for perpetuating (with minor adaptations) traditions!!
Cut!
Another hit Advent activity each year is decorating Christmas cookies. They love spreading on the icing and absolutely covering the cookies in different colors of sprinkles. It's always super messy but one of the favorites!!
