Kid's Christmas Craft- Paper Plate Banner

This one is a fun craft that your kids will love!  And, what's great about this idea is that you can use it for any holiday, with just a few simple changes.

What You Need:
Paper Plates
Large Google Eyes
Paints, Markers, or Crayons
Pom Poms
Construction Paper

Reindeer
First, paint or color a paper plate brown.  Glue on the google eyes, and a red or black pom pom for the nose.  Color or paint the mouth in a nice little smile.  Then, trace your child's hands on the construction paper, cut them out and glue them onto the plate for the antlers.  Then, on the construction paper, cut triangles for the ears.

Snowman
Take two paper plates and glue them together, one on top of the other.  Cut out a black top hat from the construction paper and glue it on the "head".  Glue on the google eyes, and use black pom poms for the mouth and buttons.  For the nose, you can use orange construction paper cut into a triangle(carrot) or another black pom pom.
For a little added touch, instead of just having the white of the paper plates as the "snow", you can cover the plates with cotton balls.  You can also sprinkle some fine glitter onto the cotton to add a little glisten.

Wreath
First, cut a circle in the middle of the paper plate out.  Color or paint the rest green.  Add red pom poms around the wreath.  Use construction paper and cut out a bow, and glue it to the bottom of the wreath.

Santa
This one is slightly more difficult.  Paint or color the plate a peach or pink color.  Glue on the google eyes.  Draw or paint a nose and mouth.  Now, with construction paper, cut out a triangle, or "hat" shape.  Glue on top of Santa's head, and line the bottom with cotton balls.  Glue a few cotton balls at the top corner of the hat as well.  Now, cut out a rounded triangle shape, for the beard.  Glue it on the bottom of the face, and cover with cotton balls, bringing it up around his mouth for his mustache.

Now, to make a nice holiday banner, use yarn, twine, or construction paper to stick them all together.  You can glue, tape, or string them all together.
