Christmas Day at my parents house traditionally involves my sister and I watching the Sound of Music (and singing along to the annoyance of all other spectators) while making a puzzle. Boxing Day usually involves some kind of craft–one year we bought a small evergreen tree and painted ornaments for it. This year my mom and I purchased several wool sweaters for $6.99 each at Value Village. I was inspired by Bella Dia’s instructions for felted wool mittens, but also made some doves and an owl (who was named “Dave” upon Liam’s suggestion).

On Christmas Day we made these colorform artworks as well:
