I love the holidays. Like REALLY love the holidays. I might as well just call myself Elf. Working with kids adds to my love of the magical time of year. Making it special for little ones makes it a little more special. I go a little crazy with all the holiday planning so we have something special to do everyday up until our break!

I love doing projects with my class and Oriental Trading makes it so easy to to have amazing crafts even with everything else going on. I found the perfect activities to go with my lesson themes. The kits we used came with everything we needed to complete the craft so there were no surprise supplies to grab. This makes all the difference when working with preschoolers.

The kids loved the Santa backdrop we got for the classroom. We used it to take our holiday pictures to go in our frame projects. The frames were fun to assemble and are going to be great little gifts to take home to their parents. I love the hand print crafts kit. It was so much easier to make than other dough crafts we’ve done in the past. They came out great and we turned them into ornaments! We made fantastic Peppermint Handprint Crafts that came out adorably!!

Oriental Trading has great supplies for all of our Holiday fun. They sell party supplies too so our Christmas party is full of fun Santa tableware. They also sell fantastic supplies for teachers. Saving money on teaching supplies is always a bonus and helps make our curriculm even better. Right now you can get free shipping and 10$ off an order of 79 or more with code SNOWBALL16.
