"Hi, I'm Katalin, the creator of Creative English in Hungary and I am here on behalf of Expert Village. I'm going to show you how to make Christmas garland from popcorn. Making a Christmas decoration like that, together with your kids, can be a very good fun. Because, you can make it before Christmas so you can make yourself ready emotionally for Christmas. Which is quite nice because you can sit down together or you have a chat while you're making something with your hands, you can listen to some Christmas Carols or you can sing Christmas Carols together. Again, it's a very, very creative thing to do. Because, little children have very good ideas. Maybe they just want to make a circle, or maybe they just want to make a whole long line as a Christmas garland. But you can just let them do what they actually want. Because the pleasure of putting their own arts and crafts on the Christmas tree will give them the enjoyment. Again, making something together, being with your child is a great opportunity, especially around Christmas when everybody's nervous and they are busy cooking. So, forget about cooking, and sit down and make something with your child and it will give you much more pleasure than the cooking. Or just being separated, one in the kitchen and the other one in front of the television. So, try to be creative, use your imagination, and make lots of lots of different ornaments from popcorn."

on 5/26/2009 I really like what she does. Everything is very simple with stuff one already has around the house. None of her projects are so complicated you'd be afraid to do them with your children. Keep up the good work.
