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 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

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 The poem they give is out of date now but easy enough to change the year.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?

Count the snowmen

Children to count and write the number in the box. Children could then sort from lowest to highest.

The Red Beast - book on anger

I saw a recommendation for this book on a teaching forum and thought I would add it to the HLTA bookshop. It looks perfect for explaining how anger makes us feel. I wish I had known about this book before today as I did a SEAL lesson on anger. It would have been perfect for that.
