christmas countdown: Day 4

Christmas Countdown:

Day 4

Print Christmas Pictures and Get a Pin and Poke Holes Around the Picture
aka
poke hole art

this activity was suggested by Lily, who did this a few years ago in school.

Basically, a coloring page

(we printed ours off the internet)

lay it over construction paper

then you poke holes, tracing the whole picture with tiny hole punches.

it's fun to take out your frustrations whilst poking,

like imagining it's the irritating cashier's face who takes one look at you and all your girls and says,

"wow, u reallllllly have your hands full"

it's perfectly acceptable to pretend it's a voodoo doll.

i mean, be sure to have visions of sugar plums dancing in your head...

they poked away and then colored the pics afterwards,

when u hold the poked construction paper up to the light...

it's "SO COOL"

Presley was in bed,

i figured it would be safer...for all of us.

so i did her santa for her.

this was a unique little activity, but the kids got a real kick out of it.

and it's great therapy,

if you're in need of that type of thing.

onto Day 5!
