Christmas Craft of the Day
Foot Angel
You'll need construction paper in various colors, scissors and
glue.
Trace your child's hands onto one piece of construction paper.
These will make the angel's wings.
Then trace your child's foot onto another piece of construction
paper. This will make the body of your angel (the toes are the
bottom of her dress).
Assemble the angel and draw on a face. Be sure to write the name
and year on the back so you know whose foot that was.

It wouldn't be Christmas unless you read
'Twas the Night Before Christmas at least once. Break out your
copy and read it to the kids by candlelight.
