Self assessment for young children in writing

I started putting this on the bottom of all the writing frames I make for the children with fantastic results. The children love being able to colour a star each time they remember to do something. When a child has finished writing we look at the work together and decide how many stars they should colour in.
Click on the image to open, right click and save to your computer. Insert as an image into a word document. Make your writing frame.

Handprints Craft Winter and Christmas
A Handprint Santa is available here
Another handprint Santa available here
Another Handprint Santa from here, you will need to scroll down quite a bit. There are loads of interesting things on this site.

Here is a lovely angel image taken from here
Another idea for a Christmas angel is to use a photograph of your child's head along with a footprint for the body and handprints for the wings.
Something like this
You could even add a little poem
This little angel is special you see;
Because she is a part of me.
Her wings are my hands,
Her body my feet,
And on the tree she'll look very sweet.

This handprint Christmas tree image and idea is from here
Hand and Footprint reindeer from here
Handprint poinsettia from here
Handprint wreath from here
This is a lovely idea for a calendar. You could get children to do the different months and then scan them into a computer to make a calendar for all the children.
Here shows exactly how to make one of these calendars
How about a lovely handprint snowflake for little hands
Handprint robin available from here
Fingerprint Holly craft from here
Fingerprint penguin from here
Fingerprint reindeer from here
Oh I just love this idea from littlegiraffes. Using a bauble, paint the childs hand white and the child holds the bauble to make little snowmen. Decorate and attach a little poem. The poem they give is out of date now but easy enough to change the year.

These aren't just five snowmen
As anyone can see.
I made them with my hand
Which is a part of me.
Now each year when you trim the tree
You'll look back and recall
Christmas of 2004
When my hand was just
this small!

All these would make great christmas cards no matter what the child's age is. We all like dipping our hands in paint don't we?
