one of the thing i love about parents is anything their kid makes, as long as it was made with love, its the best gift ever. LOL
that being said LOL, how mature are the kids? if the answer is they can be sorta trusted, then heres a project- ornament in a can.
Start with cat food or tuna cans, the kind that had a pop top have minimal chance of injury LOL. Clean em with bleach and soap and let em dry.
the kids can trace and cut a circle of fancy paper and lay it in the back, another circle covers the inside.
use either strips of paper or wide ribbon to cover the part of the can that used to have a label, and the inside of the same....
now if you have a crop o dile, use that to punch a hole at 1/16 to put an ornament hook through. if not, use a hammer and nail.
some of the things that can go in the ornament 'opening' are- styrofoam or cotton ball snowmen, those little ceramic figurinees you get free in tea bags, or even a photo, cut in a circle.
thats the basic setup, of course glitter and doodads can always be added.
