Reusing Christmas Card Series - Activity to do with young children, make a winter scene story

This would be a good activity to do with your kids on a stormy day. You will be using pictures from old Christmas cards to make a scene or story.

You will need:
- Old Christmas cards
- Construction paper or blank paper
- Scissors
- Glue Stick

Step 1) You will be choosing a piece of construction paper for your background or use white plain paper.



Step 2) Select the cards you want to use and cut the piece off the cards you need.



Step 3) Before gluing, sit the pieces of the card on the paper to decide how it will look. Use crayons or colored pencils to add to the scene or story.



Step 4) Glue the pictures where they need to go.





My picture example is suppose to tell a story. The story is what kids did a winter day. If you can't make it out this is what the pictures say



"In the morn we made snowmen"
"In the afternoon we watched the robin sing"
"In the evening we wore our new winter suits and sung carols."

This is my attempt oh how I would make mine if I was a kid. Remember it is a good activity to do with kids so let them be creative and have fun.
