Just a thought Poinsetta's are posionus incase you weren't aware so might be one you have to put in.

Mine just are not interested so we have gone for simple things

calendars - open 3 have had a picture taken of them icing biscuits and I have put that into a calendar to be laminated and under 3's have made a reindeer which I am laminating

crackers - to be done

cookies - to be made nearer the time

reindeer hats with noses - done

reindeer cards - done

the best time was had putting stencil paint on the paper to make wrapping paper

apart from that they do not want to do it.

We are doing our parents gifts next week.
We are making peppermint creams, chocolate truffles, small xmas biscuits and coconut snowman.
I have bought some small boxes from Asda in their jewellery section and will line them with tissue paper before filling them with the goodies!
I wonder how many I will have to taste test!
