Christmas Angel Art
Make this Christmas angel with red construction paper (background), a white construction paper circle (head), white construction paper triangle (robe), circle doily cut in half (wings). Add glitter paint on the robe and let children draw the face. I showed children how to make it, but let them re-create it on their own. Different children drew different faces, placed the wings in different places. Let them be unique!
