elves shoemaker 

Look at these cute elf hats!  Cindy Williams and her gang at Philbrook Art Museum came up with this great craft activity for Second Saturday.  I am so taking this idea to my classroom this week!


I took a photo of the instructions!  Use a large piece of construction paper (12×18).
