Holiday Gifts To Parents from Kids

Aren't these As Cute As A Button?  They were so easy to make and if you still need a gift for a grandparent, aunt, etc., for the holidays, you can make one in a snap.


I wish I didn't have to blur the kiddo's faces so you could see what cuties they are.  Here is one up close without a pic.




One of the reasons I loved this craft was because I didn't have to get the paint out!  Now I love a good painting project but my classroom doesn't have a sink so it's a pain in the neck.  Instead, the kids used markers to color in one side of each stick.  Worked great!  Kids picked out buttons and I glue gunned them on.  From start to finish- ENTIRE time for 21 kids...about 45 minutes!  I printed pics out on printer (4x6) glued on back.  Kids trimmed themselves. Then the kids wrote names and 2012 on back.  Easy peasy!

And I don't wrap for my kiddos.  Why would I when they can make these cute giftbags?

Green and White yarn, colored reinforcements, markers, lunch bags


I think I've finally found the gift I'll be making each year!

  5. Heehee Lisa! My last name is Button and I love these! My own kiddos did snowflakes a few years ago with buttons and it's always fun to see new projects and ideas! Merry Christmas to you and hope you have a lovely break and find some time to relax!
