Christmas craft idea to do with your grandkids
For many over-60s, Christmas means more than just decorating the tree and shopping for presents – it means spending quality time with the little ones in your life. And what better way to celebrate the holidays and make memories than with some adorable Christmas craft?
Over60 community member Warren Gray has shared with us his step-by-step guide for making reindeer ornaments out of milk bottle lids. “As it is almost Christmas, I thought I would share a craft idea for other grandparents go do with their grandkids,” he says.
What you will need:
- Lids off the plastic milk bottles
- Pipe cleaner cut in half and then those halves folded in half again
- Stick on eyes (at least 2 per lid)
- Permanent markers
- Small length of fishing line or wool
How to:
- Drill 3 small holes in the side of the bottle top (a job for us grandparents – have a look at the photo above and you can figure out why you need 3 holes)
- The rest is up to the kids to make and design themselves.
Good luck and happy crafting!
