Step 3

Step 4
Attach the bits of yarn with the glue stick around the head to simulate hair, and cut a small strip of white paper or tinfoil for the halo. Color in hands, feet and a face with the crayons or markers. Your preschooler can add flower stickers and write her name on this colored paper. Your preschooler can color flowers or little stars on this paper to make it truly unique, or you can add in a photograph of the child or a favorite pet.
