Craft : Door Hangers

The kids made door hangers the other day. I promised I would write it up and here it is.

Items Required

Scissors
Cardboard (firm white board and thin coloured board)
Glue
Coloured pencils
Cutting/craft knife
Lead pencil
Permenent marker
Stencil

Method

Trace around the stencil on the firm white cardboard
Cut out with scissors / craft knife
Get children to colour in the door hangers
Using the coloured card, draw simple pictures on them with lead pencil, then do the outlines in permenent marker
Cut out the simple pictures
Glue to the door hanger

Note : The difficulty of this is up to the individual. The more detail put into the cut out pictures the more difficult it will become. Simple bright pictures work well for younger children.
