advent calendar day 2...santa spotter

yesterday was the second day of our advent calendar...and rai made a santa spotter!!! so that on Christmas night, she can use it to help her see santa flying in the sky! you will need a paper towel roll, white glue, a piece of copy paper, and crayons, markers, glitter, etc for decorating! i think you may see were i'm goin here...so take your paper and decorate it...or in my case, have your 3 year old decorate it. like this (we used a yellow piece of paper b/c she insisted...if you use colored construction paper you will have to trim the ends...)
after decorating the front of your paper with the crayons and marker drawings...flip it over and spread glue all over the back of the paper (mom, you may want to do the edges)...
can you tell she liked the glue?   :)

after you get an agreeable amount of glue, line up your paper towel holder with the edges of the paper, hotdog style, and roll it around the roll, so that no paper towel roll is visible..
here you could add pompoms or glitter or whatever other dodads you want...however, my santa spotter went straight outside looking for that jolly lil elf...and everything else we own...

hope you like!!!
