When & Where

"Sparkling Ornaments is a great family tradition. We added the date, and will make these for years to come."

"Our class made Sparkling Ornaments for people in the community who are lonely during the holidays."

Interesting Info

Children in Sweden light candles in windows and leave bowls of porridge on Christmas Eve so Jultomten, a gnome-like Santa figure, can find his way to leave gifts for them.

Safety Guidelines

Glitter Glue— WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.

Adult Assistance is required for this arts & crafts project.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
