Christmas is an exciting time of year, as children look forward to time with their loved ones and enjoying activities both in and out of school.
December is a great time to take part in arts and crafts activities and, in this blog, we will explore how to use Tuff Trays to create Snowflake Hangers in time for Christmas.
This activity can support with children’s vocabulary, helping with counting, and recognising colours and sounds.

The ‘Snowflake Christmas hangers’ activity is easy to set-up and only requires a few materials to get going.
You will need:
