Advent Scratch-Off Ornaments
This advent idea is fun because it is a scratch-off game for the kids! I am happy to share my free ornament template with 25 advent ideas, but I cannot upload the pdf file through Blogger. Send me a comment if you know how!
Scratch offs are usually metallic silver, but in this Christmas craft, they are metallic red, green & gold!
Metallic acrylic paints
Dish soap
Clear contact paper
Empty egg carton
Cardstock paper
Hole puncher
Paint brushes
Scissors
Ribbon
Ornament hangers
