Christmas Countdown
By Marguerite Harrington
Count down the days until Christmas with a chalkboard poster made with chalk and construction paper.
What you need:
- pencil
- poster board
- scissors
- construction paper
- white glue
- markers
- chalk
- dry cloth
- tape
How to make it:
- Draw a snowman (or other design) on poster board and cut it out.
- Cut out a heart from black construction paper. Cut out a bigger heart from paper of any color.
- Glue the big heart on the snowman. Glue the black heart on top. Paint white glue on the black heart.
- Cut out a hat and scarf from paper and glue them on. Use markers to draw a face.
- Use a marker to write the name of the holiday and "Countdown!"
- On the black heart, use chalk to write the number of days left until the holiday. To change the number, erase it with a dry cloth.
- With permission, tape the snowman on your wall or door.
