I’ve been contemplating holiday crafts for Dave’s squadron’s Christmas party.  I’m helping to set it up.<\/p>\n

(Oops, did I say “Christmas?”  I mean, um, “Holiday<\/i>“.)<\/p>\n

I recalled doing God’s Eyes<\/a> in Girl Scouts and Sunday school when I was growing up.  With all these remnants of yarn hanging around from my HAP afghan<\/a> rectangles, and a huge box of popsicle sticks in my craft drawer, this was an easy one for my kids!<\/p>\n

With standard craft popsicle sticks, these are perfect size for the Christmas tree! <\/p>\n

If you don’t have popsicle sticks on hand, just march out to the backyard and pick up two sticks!<\/p>\n

It’s fun to see my kids grow in dexterity and pick up on more difficult crafts!<\/p>\n

The kids “tested” out this craft with some multi-colored yarn, but I have a bunch of holiday colors for the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
