3D Paper Stars
Big impact with big, big joy!
Merry Everything to you all!

Introduction
December at Smudge is busy in the best way. Tables fill up fast, ideas bounce around the room, and there’s a lot of making happening all at once. Kids arrive with Christmas on the brain and hands that are very ready to get started!
This theme is about giving them the right materials and plenty of room to explore. Sparkle, cardboard, paint, yarn, glue, repetition, big builds, small details. Some activities feel calm and focused, others are loud and collaborative. None of them are about rushing toward a perfect end result. Christmas Creations is festive, playful, and practical. It’s about slowing the season down just enough to enjoy the making part… and letting the rest take care of itself.
From Smudge to You
Below you'll find the collection of creative activities we've used to bring this theme to life at Smudge. Each one is an invitation to play, experiment, and see where the materials take you. Pick and choose what excites you and adapt them to your own space.
