kid's chrismas craft ideas

Please can anyone help?
My daughter has just started her teaching practice and needs a simple christmas craft activity for 6/7 yearolds. She has been trying to think of something, but is struggling.

    I run a Rainbow group which is the same age group and I find this website invaluable www.dltk-kids.com
    If you Google free kids crafts there are dozens of other websites.

    Xmas tree decoration - cut xmas shape x 2 out of felt by cutting round a template (star, tree...). Glue one piece to the other and attach a piece of looped ribbon for hanging at the top. Decorate shape with stickers or buttons or glitter glue.

    Decorate a paper plate for leaving cookies out on Xmas Eve for Father Christmas.

    Snowmen using loo rolls with cotton wool stuck on.

    Snowflakes by folding paper up lots of times and cutting out a design.

    Xmas cards?

    Can't think of anything else for now.

    Just found this site...

    I use dltk all the time and highly recomend it to any one doing craft. Also agree though google it too, or to include all search engines Dogpile it.
