Nature wreath in traditional Christmas colors. I was originally going to post it during Christmas week, but changed my mind because the theme is “Get Creative With Wreaths” over at @get.creative.with .

To post your creative wreath activity, follow Susie @resolvetoplay ; @ohcreativeday ; and @littlebuttondiaries .

Tag your entry with #getcreativewith and @get.creative.with

Here’s a little play mat that can be downloaded on my blog (link in bio.). I first created it for the Mr. and Mrs. Santas I posted last week, and thought of other ideas for it afterwards. The winter forest scene can be used as a backdrop for unbreakable gingerbread decorations or game pieces. It could be a snack placemat or doodle sheet. The possibilities are endless.

Paper roll Mr. and Mrs. Santa are dressed to impress in this “runway parade.” See the @ikeacanada wrapping paper they are cut from in the previous post. #notsponsored

Hands down the @ikeacanada Mr. and Mrs. Santa paper doll wrapping paper is the best deal you will find this season. At $1.49 Canadian per roll, there is enough wrap for presents and paper crafting.
Cutting and dressing paper dolls from the paper will encourage creativity, foster fine motor control, give experience in fashion co-ordinating, and provide hours of engagement.

Invitation to build and decorate a Christmas tree using clear plastic serving trays, plates and cups. A challenging STEAM activity with opportunity to investigate balance, symmetry, size, and height.

This activity is inspired by a post from @places_spaces_wonder_delight . Tracey’s brilliant “build a tree” activity uses nature materials and recycled items. See her original post in my stories.

Artist Yayoi Kusama incorporates lights, mirrors, stripes, and polka dots in many of her works. At times her theme is about LOVE.
Mirror blocks, oversized metallic bells, lights and patterned paper come together in this post inspired by Yayoi’s art pieces and installations.

Thanks, Gillian from @makingminimasters for introducing us to her work through your spectacular instagram posts.

Gillian is guest judge over at @a.pop.of.culture . The theme for the week is “artist of the moment” Yayoi Kusama .
The post also fits for the Light theme at @get.creative.with hosted by phenomenal instagrammer @cara_florence .

Invitation to create a scene inspired by the picture book “Wink, The Ninja Who Wanted To Nap,” by J. C. Phillipps. The story ties in Japanese culture and geography, and is delightful to read. View the book theme on my blog. Link in bio.
