Christmas arts and crafts 🌲
We were very lucky to have a visit from Martina Killian, from the Heritage in schools programme. We made some fantastic candle jar holders, using jam jars, paper bags and ribbons. We used potato prints to create the Christmas effect. We also made a bird feeder, using a pine cone, peanut butter, some seeds and ribbon. 🌲🌳🪹
