Creative Comment:
These little angels are a hit with the kids! They are easy enough to make, although they do require a little patience. Spend some time with the kids and make your own little angels for your christmas tree.
Teachers Tip:
Have your kids make cards while they're waiting for certain parts to dry. This will help pass the time.
Project Twists: I've also seen kids make other things like giraffes, horseys, and turtles. Let the kids be creative... or the adults too!
I've seen some people make these angels using big wooden beads for the angels head, and instead of a halo, they just gave it hair by gluing tiny bits of pasta to the head.
