    Ornament Decorating Station

    The elf opened an ornament workshop: clear ornaments ready to fill, bowls of tissue paper and ribbon, markers, and a note saying the tree needs a few new decorations.

    Instructions

    1. Cover the table with newspaper or an old tablecloth.
    2. Set out one shatterproof clear ornament per child, tops off and kept together in a cup.
    3. Fill small bowls with torn tissue paper scraps and short pieces of ribbon.
    4. Lay out washable markers for drawing on the outside.
    5. Make one sample ornament and sit the elf in the middle holding it.
    6. Leave a note: "The tree asked for new decorations made by you."

    Tip: Plastic ornaments only, never glass. Write each child's name and the year on the cap.
