Stencils #kcs12days @kcsearlyyears @kcssocial Todays theme is stencils so here’s a fun way to use these Christmas stencils from @kcsearlyyears I used chalk pens to draw into the bottom of a tray. Use any filler over the top- we used this amazing elastisand also from @kcsearlyyears Reveal the picture and repeat! Would also be fab with sand and rice fillers.

🎄Stick Christmas tree🎄for the 8th day of the @kcsearlyyears #kcs12days of Christmas prompts we are excited to see everyone’s stick creations! Amelia loved making our stick tree - we had lots of fun collecting sticks and pine cones. We made our pine cones into twinkly fairy lights by painting them and covering them with glitter. We then used our math skills to arrange our sticks in order of size and then we decorated them. We carefully glued them to a super long stick and ta-da! All paints, glitter and tinsel pipe cleaners from @kcsearlyyears #kcsearlyyears #christmascrafts #craftykids #craftsforkids #easykidcrafts #christmasdecor #christmasdecorations #christmastree #diycrafts #diychristmas #diychristmasdecor #funbudgetplay #letsshareourplaydecember #mylittlestemists #stem #stemeducation #mathskills #earlyyearsideas #earlyyearsideas #earlyyearseducation #keystage1 #raisingawildartist #inspireuswithyourplay #learningwiththesmalls #rainydayactivities #naturecrafts #naturecraftsforkids #letsshareourdailycrafts #weplay_winter #festiveplayalltheway
