ncK a project mat can De completed in one afternoon, if possible. You want the kids to look forward to this exciting activity, not dread going back to “finish.”
• Plan according to age level. Parents, if you don’t want to end up doing the project yourself, make sure whatever cutting, drawing, painting and decorating needs to be done is appropriate to your child’s age and abilities.
• Have all materials at hand. Review the necessary tools and supplies carefully before you sit down to work with your child. While you are looking for the glue, your child will be dragging a toy out of the closet, and you’ve lost them.
• Remember, the finished product does not have to be perfect. When you correct and fix their work, the child sees that her efforts are not good enough to give away. It’s not theirs any more.
• Play holiday music while you work together.
• If the child is old enough to do most of the work himself, stay nearby to answer questions and offer encouragement. Make some cookies as you supervise from a distance.
• Have children wrap their own gifts, with lots of ribbons and bows.
