Activities for the Christmas break

Hi {firstname},

If you have young children at home, let them decorate Christmas trees with Magic Nuudles. These are multi-coloured "beans" made from natural cornstarch and non-toxic food colouring.

My project this week includes templates for two different trees.

One of the many things that Canadians are proud of is the Cirque du Soleil. Their shows are famous throughout the world.

I discovered that they offer a free show that you can enjoy without leaving the comfort of your home. View it on a big screen if you can. The whole family will enjoy it!

I am sometimes asked whether my giant nutcracker can survive the Christmas season outside. I always reply that it depends where you live. But maybe I have been under-estimating my nutcracker.

One of the first enthousiastic nutcracker builders, Larry from New Jersey, put his two nutcrackers outside during five cold winters. This year, the paper mache heads were too damaged, so he made new heads using a different technique. Read his story on my blog to find out more...

Because you are a Pro

Here is a small selection from all the new printables: a colouring page with Santa, a spot-the-differences game with a gingerbread man, and a connect-the-dots picture of an angel.

All printables are yours with a Pro membership. In addition, a Pro membership gives you 40 credits that you can spend any way you want on the website.
