Our Family Holiday Newsletter

What's news with your family? Send holiday greetings on personalized paper. Watch for the magic!

1. Tell your friends and family how you have been AND show them your talented art! Create your own holiday stationery and matching envelopes.

2. On plain paper, use Crayola® Changeables™ and your imagination to create holiday symbols and patterns. Design a border around the paper. Decorate one side or show holiday scenes at the top or bottom. Embellish your family name or initials if you like. Leave lots of space for family news.

3. With your Changeables wand, make magical color changes that add interest to your patterns.

4. If you like, draw lines in the center of the paper. Write your family newsletter in poetry or prose. What wonderful things happened this year?

5. Use matching symbols, colors, or patterns to accent your holiday envelopes.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
