Painting using a bottlebrush was just another way to reinvent a simple activity into something new. Lovely idea for Christmas paper or cards too!

Bottlebrush Christmas painting
What says a traditional Aussie Christmas more than bottlebrush with red and green colours?

Reindeer Noses
Sick of boring candy cane gifts for friends?
Well this year we gave out these cuties!
Made with 8 maltesers and 1 jaffa, they got a smile from all of Tara's classmates. Here is a similar label that the folks at Pigeon have handed out free so print these off as many times as you need and get to work sorting your treats-great activity for the kids to get involved in to practise counting,sorting and of course not EATING!

Tara's Tucker box Christmas style
Looking for a healthy Christmas lunch idea for the kids? This reindeer sandwich should do the trick!
Toast one slice of bread, while waiting get two slices of bread and make your favourite filling sandwich. Cut off the crusts and round the corners with a knife. With another slice of bread cut out a "B" shape
So starting with the normal square sandwich you made place the "B" shape facing down on the end of the sandwich to act as the cheeks. put a red cherry tomato on top for the nose. Cut out two small cheese slice circles and add olives/sultanas or red grapes as eyes.
The toasted slice of bread are the antlers so once toasted cut using scissors into a twisted antler shape. Add ears by cutting out shape from leftovers and add a coloured spread on top. Lastly the tongue can be made with a cucumber or as we used slice of cabanossi.
Proud as punch of her Christmas lunch!

Christmas 2010
We haven't had much time to do Christmas craft this year as it seemed to have come around so quickly but Tara did get involved with the traditional jobs of Gingerbread house decorating....
Table centerpiece painting
Beautiful big gum nuts that fitted our "traditional Christmas" theme perfectly
And most importantly our family made star which we replace every year with a new one. I just cut out a cardboard star and Tara decorates it to her liking then stick it to a gold painted paper towel holder and place it on top of the tree. We keep all the previous years stars to look back on.
