It's that time of year again when you can involve your class in all sorts of great art and craft activities to make your classroom look amazing and then please all the Mum's and Dad's by sending home some wonderful home made decorations for the festive season.

I have made these Christmas Paper Baubles from gold, silver and black paper before, but here they are shown using patterned wrapping paper, any combination of papers will look great and you can make them to a coloured theme if you want to. For a simple card Christmas Bauble, try these photo Baubles, which may be especially fun to look at when they are bought out in the coming years to put on the tree.

Watch this clear video with a picture film, with music sound track, of how to make a 3D Christmas tree. For older children use this more complicated 3D Origami Christmas tree. You could show the film on the interactive whiteboard and keep pausing it, until everyone is ready for the next section.

These cup snowmen look quite cool, but I think you would need to work out how best to do the hat melting part (which requries putting cups in the oven), depending on your children and school equipment. I would have to melt them at home first. For a more straight forward Snowman try these ones made from paper plates.

A great whole class decoration is this handprint wreath, that combines the handprints of each child in one large decoration. For instructions for a traditional Christmas paper lantern, scroll down a little on this page. Or for that traditional favourite of tissue paper stained glass window decorations find the instructions here.

Try just one of these idea and your classroom will look great!
