Christmas craft ideas for two-year olds

Im looking for craft ideas that the two year old I watch can do for Christmas presents...Ill post what I have already found but Im looking for something else (maybe a little easier)...any ideas.

Christmas star ornament
1.Glue the craft sticks together to form a star shape, or use the picture above as a diagram. Glue a ribbon loop to the back of the star so you will be able to hang in on your Christmas tree.
2. Paint the star if you aren't using the colored craft sticks.
3. Glue on beads, buttons, jewels, and other decorative items, or use glitter glue to decorate your stars.

Peppermint Candy Frame
1. Glue four jumbo craft sticks together to form a square. Turn the picture so it is facing you. Glue peppermint candies all the way around the edge. You can leave the wrappers on or take them off. If you take the wrappers off spray several coats of clear acrylic paint over the candy and let dry between coats. This will keep the candy looking fresh and keep ants away.
2. Glue a picture backed with cardboard on the back of the craft stick frame. Cut out a stand and glue it to the back.

Coffee filter angelCoffee Filter Angel Craft
What you will need: Three coffee filters for each angel, one large bead for the head, a pipe cleaner, doll hair, and paint.
1. Cut the pipe cleaner in half. Gather up one coffee filter across the width and wind one of the halves of pipe cleaners around it to make the wings.
2. Cut about 10 strings of doll hair about 6 inches long. Wrap the other half of the pipe cleaner around the middle of the doll hair lengths leaving about 1 1/2� of pipe cleaner at one end.
3. Wind the 1 1/2� length around to form a halo. Insert the other end of the pipe cleaner through the center of a coffee filter and then through the center of the bead and then through the center of another coffee filter. Bend a loop in the end of the pipe cleaner so the coffee filters and bead don’t fall off.
4. Bring the top coffee filter down around the bead and gather it around the bottom of the bead to form the neck of the angel. Attach the wings to the body just below the bottom of the bead. Wind the ends of the pipe cleaner from the wings around to form the arm.
5. Paint the angel with watercolors or glitter glue and draw on a face.

ReindeerReindeer Craft
What you will need: Wooden spoon, small oval wooden pieces for ears, wooden clothes pin with stand, brown pipe cleaners for the ears, green pipe cleaner, red beads and red ribbon for the wreath, oval wiggly eyes, red pompom for the nose, glue and paint.
1. Glue the wooden pieces together to form the reindeer as shown. The wooden spoon I used came from the spoon you get with ice cream cups at the grocery store.
2. Paint the reindeer brown and let dry.
3. Glue on the eyes and nose. Draw in the mouth and other face features. Make some antlers out of brown pipe cleaners and glue on. Make a tiny wreath out of green pipe cleaners and glue on tiny red beads for berries. Add a red ribbon to the wreath and hang it on the reindeer to finish.

If I may, I'd like to strongly suggest that you switch to decaf.

Two words: Shrinky Dinks Those were the best things...when you're like five, I mean.

I don't think they even exist anymore. But, if you can find them or something that would work the same would be great to make ornaments.

ahhh that stuff was great wasnt it. Maybe it would be helpful to know some craft stores in munich. (I can hear it already...search function)

No one has any ideas huh

You could make a little gingerbread house together and the two year old can stick the candies on the the house. Yummy and fun.

make dry cookie mix or hot chocolate mix. theres loads of recipes on the web. you put them in jars or cans, that have been decorated by the kid. tie an instruction card on a ribbon round the top.

hey! if you want ot go look at craftstores (once we locate one) let me know i'd love to go w/ you! plus it's funny seeing your old charges and talking to them (i'll see them tomo at ballett).

i'm making an advent calender w/ the kids (but as you know they are 7 and 4) and each day they either give something (picture or chocolate) to momand dad or they have to do something (brush teeth w/o being told, make beds, brush muck, read or play piano for mom/dad, etc).

i got cheap wood pic frames at Ikea. we're going to paint them and take a pic of hte girls and the dogs (well muck and my dog) and give them to them for christmas

you could teach her songs she can sing to the parents.
cut out cookies? fun using the cookie cutters and then decorating them
cut paper into snowflakes

Well the mother wants the two year old to make christmas gifts for the grandparents and such...so Im trying to be creative with something you could ship...

I was almost thinking of just getting some wooden picture frames and having him put his handprints all around them...they thow a pic in there and poof a wonderful christmas present that he (sort of) made...

(except I didnt want to have to go and find picture frames big enough to fitt his little handprints on)
