Sweet Holiday Gifts!
"A Cool Way to Give Out Your Holiday Treats"
You'll Need:
-
Construction Paper, or Decorative Paper (Not wrapping paper, it is
not sturdy enough)
-
Ruler
-
Scissors
-
Chocolate Coins, Peppermint Candy, or your favorite kind of holiday
treat
-
Crayons, Markers, Stamps, Glitter, Glue
-
Colorful Fabric Ribbon
-
Hole Punch
What to Do:
With a ruler, measure a triangle that is 8 inches long on all sides.
(This is called an equilateral triangle because all of the points
have the same angle.) Use the triangle that we made as an example if
you need any help. Carefully cut out the triangle (Have an adult
help you if you are using thick paper.)
Fold the points of your
triangle toward the center so that the point touches the opposite
side (the flat side) of the triangle. When you are finished, the
middle of the triangle should be a smaller version of the one you
cut out.
Flip over, decorate however you like with crayons, markers
or glitter. You can even cut out pictures and paste them on the
outside. Punch a hole at each corner of the paper. Flip triangle
over so the points are in the air.
Place candy or treat in the
center triangle. Thread ribbon through the holes, pull corners
together and tie the ribbon carefully so you don't rip the paper.
If
you are making ornaments, make sure ribbon is long enough to make a
loop for hanging.
