You could make popcorn garland, maybe?
I think you need to watch Rudolph or Frosty the Snowman. Today's kids just don't appreciate those old flicks!
I like the popcorn idea too. I loved doing that as a kid.
What about paper snowflakes?
I will have to put a second thought to other ideas, but I wanted to comment and say #11 was awesome!!! Seriously, that's the kind of cool parent I want to be when I grow up :)
I saw a fun idea where they took a short and fat canning jar where they glued little figurines to the inside of the lid (created a scene) and then filled the jar with water and glitter, put the lid on, turn it upside down and viola you now have a custom snow globe. I can't wait to do this with my kids this weekend!
Thanks gals! You really helped my creativity along. :)
I love your list! What a terrific idea!
