Clear Glass Ornament With Snow
Are you looking for the perfect Christmas party craft? These adorable ornaments are quick and easy for any age group. Another great thing about these ornaments is they come require very little actual artistic skill and they come out beautiful every time. This makes them a great choice for a party. We started with clear glass ornaments in various shapes and added Epson Salts as the snow. We prefilled the ornaments with Epson Salts for the snow.

Reindeer Food
One of the most anticipated activities at our annual Christmas party is the making of reindeer food. We begin with a large box of oats, though many of the kids do not realize it’s just oats.

How to host a gift exchange at a children’s Christmas Party
On our invitations include a note to bring a gift of a specific price range if you would like to participate in the gift exchange. I do this so someone doesn’t bring a 25 dollar gift and leave with one which cost 5 dollars. As guests with gifts for the exchange arrive for the party, we place a numbered sticker on each gift. We also place a paper with a corresponding number into a Christmas stocking. To separate the girls’ gifts from the boys’ gifts, we put different stickers on them, for example the gifts brought by girls get a snowman sticker and the gifts brought by boys get a…
