How to make a Desert Christmas Tree and a Floating Iceberg

1)Make a Desert Christmas tree. If you live close to a beach, or plan to take a trip to one, look for driftwood. Find a nice piece with your child. Dry it. When dry, nail the bottom of branch to a base. This is how to do it: Turn base upside down. Hammer a thick nail down middle of base INTO bottom of branch. Branch will now look like mini tree. Cover mini-tree with ornaments.

2)Here's a cute holiday display if you own a pool. Make a floating iceberg for your pool. Use a boogie board as the iceberg. Buy nylon pillow stuffing for snow on top of the board. Place plastic or stuff penguins on the iceberg. Kids love this display. You can place a light weight Santa or a stuff polar bear on the iceberg as well.
