I am always looking for simple achieveable activities to incorporate into OT sessions. With only a couple of weeks left, it is time to incorporate some festive cheer.  This year we will be making some Christmas ornaments that are achievable for kids! Here are 5 variations.

1. Paper Circle Bauble 
* Cut out 6 circle shapes on festive paper.
* Fold each circle in half.
* Glue the half-circles together until you reach the last two half-circles.
* Create a hanging ring with some pipe-cleaner, tinsel or wool. Place that between the last two half-circles and fix with sticky tape. 
* Glue the last two half-circles together. 

2. Christmas Tree ornament with washi tape decoration.
* Create a Christmas tree from a toilet paper roll.  
* Cut out green paper and glue this onto the tree shape toilet paper roll.
* Decorate with washi tape.

3. Christmas Tree ornament with sticker decorations.
*  Create a Christmas tree from a toilet paper roll.  
* Cut out green paper and glue this onto the tree shape toilet paper roll.
* Decorate with coloured stickers.

4. Styrofoam pipecleaner bauble.
* Cut down pipe cleaners into small pieces. 
* Poke one end of the pipe cleaner into the top of the styrofoam ball and the other end into the base. 
* Repeat until you reach the desired look.

5. Styrofoam cellophane bauble.
* Cut down cellophane paper into small pieces.
* Glue on cellophane to the styrofoam ball. 
Hint: you may need to wash (or wet) your hands regularly as the cellophane will begin to stick to your fingers rather than the ball.
