Every year my niece and I make an ornament. The first year I pressed her hand print to a glass. I'm pretty sure this will be something she needs to discuss on a therapist couch someday, but....what is family for if not to feed the therapy bills? Year two we pressed her finger into a clay gingerbread man. This year we filled and rolled paint around the inside of a glass ornament.
This is so simple, and she 'did it' instead of having it done to her. I dropped some vinegar into an ornament and rolled it around, rinsed it out and let it dry. This supposedly just gets any dust/glass residue out. I then pulled out green/red and white paint, she squeezed about a teaspoon of each inside the ornament. I put the lid back on and she rolled it around until all the sides were coated. We may have squeezed a wee bit more green than other colors, but you can see the red and white towards the top. I used an ornament with a shimmer on the inside, so it's shiney. This wins points for 3 year olds.
