Make a 3D Card Christmas Tree - with Printable Template!

This 3D Christmas Tree can be made quickly and easily! I used green card and foil stars, but you can use any colour card and decorate your trees with whatever you can find!

You will need...

Card

Scissors

Decorations

How to make it...

Print out your template - Click here for Christmas Tree Template

Cut out two Christmas Trees from your card.

Cut one tree, from the bottom edge, along the centre line, to small horizontal line that I have drawn on the template.

Cut the other tree from the top tip down to the same small horizontal line.

Slot the two trees together!

Actually you will now need to decorate them and it is easier to do this on the two separate trees - on both sides.

When they are decorated, slot them back together again and your tree is ready - have fun making them with your group!

Face Cloth Easter Bunnies! Easy and Fun!

It's three years since I posted a tutorial on making up these Face Cloth Easter Bunnies! See it Here

We have made some again this year, to raise some funds for our Mencap Arts and Crafts group and instead of using ribbon around the middle bit, we have used elasticated hair bands. 

These cost less than ribbon (we bought a card of 20 for £1) and are very easy to use....And we think they make a pretty belt! 

For the Boy ones we used plain hair bands as you can see in the photo above.

So have fun making your Easter Bunnies - they make lovely gifts 

and with a face cloth to keep after the Easter Eggs have all been devoured!

...or like us you can use them to make some funds for your group!

An Easy Game of Dice...!

Our Version of PIG

(not sure why it is called that!)

An Easy Game of Dice - Best with 2,

but can be played with up to four players.

You will need... 2 Dice, Paper and pen for scoring.

Goal... Be the first player to reach 100 points.

How to Play... Each player in turn throws the two dice together. He has three throws. He adds his points together as he goes.
If a 1 is rolled, that player's turn ends and no points are earned. If after one or two throws he decides to "hold" (rather than risk a 1 on his next throw and losing all his points) he keeps his score and passes the dice onto the next player.

Scoring Examples...

Example 1: Peter rolls a 3 and a 4 and decides to continue. He then rolls a 6 and a 1. Because he rolled a 1, Peter's turn ends and he earns 0 points.

Example 2: Jack rolls a 6 and a 2 and decides to continue. He then rolls a 6 and a 5 and decides to "hold". Jack scores 19 points.

Example 3: Mike rolls a 2 and a 3 and decides to continue. He then rolls a 4 and a 2 and carries on to his third throw of a 4 and a 3. He scores 18 points.

NOTE: If a double is thrown then the player doubles that amount. Eg a double 4 will be 8 x 2 = 16 points, a double 6 will be 12 x 2 = 24 points.

If a double 1 is thrown then the player gets 25 points for that throw. Only a single 1 will end the players turn.

When a player reaches a total of 100 or more points, the game ends and that player is the winner...!
