It's good wholesome fun for everyone!
Getting Ready for Christmas Dinner
For this Christmas craft, we are going to make menus for your Christmas dinner. Making a Christmas menu is fun but can be an educational opportunity in disguise. Your kids won’t even know they are honing their spelling skills while doing this Christmas craft. Assuming you have already decided on your Christmas menu, this Christmas craft will be a snap.
What's On The Menu?
You can use the actual recipe names on your menu card or you can embellish the descriptions a bit. For example, if you are serving turkey, make sure you add descriptive (and mouth-watering) terms such as “Honey-Glazed Turkey.” Just take into consideration how you are preparing the food and pick an appropriate description. If you have young children, you will probably need to come up with the menu descriptions by yourself. Older children can help out with this Christmas craft task.
Pick Your Paper
Decide on what paper you will use for this Christmas craft. You can buy a thicker paper in a color of your choice that can be used in your home printer. You might want to use white paper and use green and red ink.
Lay It All Out
For this Christmas craft, arrange your menu items in order from appetizers to dessert and beverages in a word processing document. Young children will love pecking at the keyboard as you instruct them on what letter to type next. Print out as many menu cards as you will need based on the number of guests you have coming to Christmas dinner.
Your guests are sure to appreciate this Christmas craft because it can clue them into what scrumptious food awaits them. The menu card can serve as a nice memento of this year’s Christmas dinner, and you can use the menu card if you scrapbook. This Christmas craft will surely be one that you will look forward to repeating next year too.
