Hi,
I am "room mom" for my kindergartner's class, so I have to plan all of the parties and provide the materials for crafts and stuff and right now I'm planning the Christmas party (I'll get parent volunteers for snacks and drinks.) For the craft, I really want to do something nice and personal (with a picture or handprints, something unique to each child), something that the parents will really enjoy, rather than just the glue together type stuff that you typically see at oriental trading and such places. The teacher said that one year a mom helped the kids personalize plates for santa's cookies... I love this idea but not sure how much it would be to buy plates and paint and such for 26 kids? Ornaments are also an idea, but not sure how to have them personalize it... I've looked at several websites and see lots of painting on ornaments, but nothing that really stood out.
Does anyone have any ideas for a nice, personalized craft that parents will cherish but is not too expensive or too difficult for 5 & 6 year olds to do? I know, all of that may be asking for too much!
Thanks for any ideas!
