Wal Mart has $5 'craft' kits for kids by the 'sewing' department. The kit we purchased makes 24 different foam ornaments. Each one is a penguin or a snowman. Kids simply punch out and glue the foam bits together and a circle pic in the middle. Even comes with a '2009' piece!

Priceless gift for extended family,, or for daycare kids; for very little investment

Thanks! I've been buying a bunch of the foam christmas crafts from the dollar store for my daughter and she's been making photo magnets and ornaments for family members ( they make 3 each so about $0.33 each but come out so cute)

We found a kit that made 48 ornaments so we are letting them decorate their own tree and we are putting them in with some of our family's gifts. I had never seen them at Walmart before this year.

It's a great way for bonding activities and to take out your children's artistic sides.
