Remember last year's reindeer program? It's an annual event for us and a great way to celebrate the winter season too even if it is freezing cold. Rather than rehash all the details, I thought I would share our craft project for this year with you: winter wreaths!
We used Ellison dies for the mittens, snowflakes, snowperson. The smaller shapes are foam stickers probably from Oriental Trading (where the idea for this craft came from). We also used a circle die cut on our Ellison machine to punch out the middle of 450 paper plates for this craft. A ribbon loop is taped on for hanging. One of our pages used markers to decorate the mittens. Cute, right? In 2013, we did two crafts and I am glad we cut back to one for this year because we had 784 people attend this program and I can't imagine trying to squeeze everyone in. We still had two stations but they had the same craft at both.

In lieu of a second craft, we added a game from Oriental Trading:
Gingerbread House Bean Bag Toss (smaller than some of our similar games but cute and decent quality)
And whipped up a quick photo booth using snowflake bulletin board paper, an Olaf and Sven standee, and some props from around the children's department (and some we printed off online)
Meet our reindeer friend, Nick, age 8. No snow this year!
