Easy Christmas Craft for Toddlers, Kids and Adults
I have to admit I enjoyed this craft as much as my kids! It was so easy and so fun! My company was my 17 months old boy and my 4 years old girl.

The dark season is upon us. December is the darkest month of the year, but also the most sparkling!

They would make fantastic Christmas presents and would continue to make your house glow all winter long after Christmas is gone!
