What You Do:

1. In a margarine or sour cream container - mix enough glue with about 1/4 cup of rice to make it gooey.

2. Add food coloring to make a Christmas green and mix well (I give the children plastic gloves so they can use their hands to mix)

3. Put the mixture on a lid and form it into a wreath.

4. Stick a paper clip into the back

5. Let it dry overnight

6. Take it off the lid and glue red beads in groups of three and some sparkle dust and maybe a bow.

7. I use the individual pictures and tape them into the middle of the wreath for a great keepsake of grade one
