With my second Free Holiday Open House in the books, I feel like I am starting to get the hang of it!
I did a similar set up as the first time with placemats, brown paper bags with my logo sticker, coloring and project sheets, cardboard tree cut out, a pompom maker and little jars filled with tree embellishments and googly eyes for our critters. As I am typing, it seems like a lot, but it is nice to know where everything is and I don't have to scramble for last minute supplies.
Earlier in the day I organized all of my craft supplies into one place. That really made getting ready easier.
I truly recommend making pompoms with your children, or in your next class. Once you get the hang of it, they are a little bit addicting. I bought a pompom maker from amazon and I felt it was a bit wonky and tedious to use. So, I looked up how to make your own and it was so much easier. You can try it yourself by visiting the website HERE.
I admit, that I have wondered if my crafts were 'fancy' enough. Or should they be more sophisticated and complicated? I will say, though, that the children leave with big smiles on their faces! To me, that's a huge win! It's what it's all about. So, I will keep teaching these fun crafts, adding more in as we go.
I have one more Free Holiday Craft Class before the end of the year. I haven't decided which crafts we are going to make yet, but I will surely be adding the pompoms lol. I will make sure to share with you what I chose and let you know how it went.
My new classes have been scheduled for January and added to EVENTBRITE. This website makes it easy to read about each class, take a look at the schedule and check pricing.
Good vibes heading your way!
