Leave a little extra to make a hook and loop to open and close the anklet. Thread through a few more beads; tie the thread onto the anklet so that the animal hangs down. Repeat this process with the rest of your animals, tying them onto the anklet every inch or so. Glue the 17-inch lengths of ribbon vertically on the black felt, 1/2 inch from the sides. For hanger loops, cut two 4-inch lengths of gold cord. Cut two 17-inch lengths of rickrack, and glue them side by side on top of each 17-inch length of ribbon. Cut the ribbon into two 17-inch lengths and two 21-inch lengths.
Glue two 21-inch lengths of rickrack side by side on top of each 21-inch length of ribbon. Trace and cut out two hat patterns for the mother and father using green paper and one child’s hat pattern from red paper. Make two anklets — one for each leg. Poke a needle through the back of each animal to make a hole. Glue patches of fur behind each hole so the fur peeks out through the front. Turn the needle gently to make the hole big enough for thread to pass through. Turn the calendar over. Do not over mix! Again, be careful when you press on the crackers. Make sure you don’t press too hard while you color, unless you want to end up with a headless or tailless beast! Kids can also enjoy the snow from indoors by watching it fall out the window, creating winter scenes, or just being cozy in the house while it’s blustering outside. These coasters are so easy to make — just cut and glue –that even young kids can participate. Glue each of these Flags On A Stick to a toothpick pole by dabbing glue on the back edge of each square. Then roll the glued edge around a toothpick.
Stick the decorated toothpick in a cupcake or other food to make the flag stand up — and the goodies stand out! Use a craft stick to help you form legs, ears, horns, and trunks. Cut each tube in half (ask an adult for help with the cutting.) Then glue a piece of black, green, or red construction paper to each tube.

This game is also a great way to include a large number of children. Why not clean them up and give them to children less fortunate? Making tie-dye party napkins is a colorful Kwanzaa craft for children that involves using a traditional African method of fabric dying. Long before there were commercial egg dyes, people colored their eggs by using onion skins. Whether you are using tools from a dairy farm, or a cattle ranch, they are so different that you can create extreme variety very quickly. ‘Crown Hill‘ has a tutorial for these DIY concrete mushrooms that are so cute and easy! Easy and short tutorial!
Pieces should be about 1/2 inch deep. Let the paint dry, then trim the ends of the felt pieces to within 1/4-inch of the words. Let the animals dry until the clay is hard. When the paint is dry, paint the animals with a coat of clear varnish or nail polish. Carefully write the following words on the felt with dimensional paint (you may want to lightly write the words first in pencil): Unity, Self-Determination, Purpose, Creativity, Sharing by All, Cooperation, and Faith. Step 1: Paint nails blue. Color the top third of each rectangle red, the middle third black, and the bottom third green. Gently color them with markers in the traditional African colors of red, green, and black. Mark eyes and smile line with black marker and inside ear lines with pink pencil. Insert the bodies one inside the other, turning them so the child is cradled at the center of the family. Go to the next page to learn how to make a Kwanzaa family.
