Christmas is over, decorations are stored away for 11 months, places have been found for the many new toys that have come into the home... even the incredible amount of cheese has been devoured and the fridge shelves are looking a little more healthier. But what to do with all of the lovely Christmas cards loved ones have sent with season greetings? Well... here is a simple make that the kids will enjoy and makes use of what would have gone into the recycling bin.
Time taken for us to make: 15 minutes to cut out the pictures 10 minutes spent gluing and sticking.
Cost to me: Nothing

Amelie loves these gluing activities. We often use images from magazines, or (as a treat) we'll buy a pack of stickers. She usually enjoys grouping images together by colour, size or type, eg: animals, flowers etc. It keeps Amelie entertained for ages which leaves me time to get on with things that need to be done around the house, or simply put my feet up for a while!
