Christmas idea I want to share

[mimi]

Every year I purchase a mini artificial evergreen tree for each of my dck's to decorate. I usually purchase the trees at the dollar store, but was not too impressed with the quality last year. This year I found them at Fortino's grocery store for 2 dollars each.
I get the miniature decorations at the dollar store and I put the selection into a large bowl. Everyday, beginning December 1, the kids get to pick an ornament to put on their tree. Sometimes we will make a little ornament, but usually they will pick something from the bowl (depend on the age of your group)
The kids absolutely look forward everyday to "decorate their tree time" and are so proud of their tree. At our Christmas party they get to take them home.
Just thought I would share this fun activity as even your youngest kids can participate.
