Arts and Crafts Project: Simple Ornaments

For Christmas: Painted walnut tree ornaments. (Jewish readers can use red and blue paint) What you need: Child friendly paints. Walnuts. Strong thread. Either a glue gun or super glue, but neither should be used by your child.
Have your child paint the walnuts using different colors or just two colors like gold and silver. Cut three to four inch pieces of thread, loop each and tie. Once walnuts are dried the parent can glue gun or super glue the threads to the walnut tops. Then have your child tie walnut ornaments on Christmas tree.
