DIY ornament ideas for kids?
I'm thinking about having all the kids make ornaments at our annual holiday party. Has anyone done this before? What materials did you use? Any other tips?

We made these footprint plaques. They also make great gifts as well! http://www.kiwicrate.com/projects/Salt-Dough-Footprint-Ornament/718

Hole punch each one and loop a ribbon through. Then the kids can glue pom poms on the shapes. Some sparkly pom poms like these http://www.amazon.com/CHENILLE-KRAFT-INCH-GLITTER-POMS/dp/B00172UUWS would be fun to mix in too!
