Teacher supply stores and some craft sores sell instant snow. It's great to sit out in big tubs and let the kids play in.

Candy cane reindeer-attach brown pipe cleaners for antlers, googly eyes and a red pom pom for a nose.

Hi
Here is a great site, with crafts and printable. You could do a coloring / card making table.

Good luck

How about making snow flakes. You can also go to Michaels or Joannes any crafts place and they have foam holiday kits that kids 3 & up can make they usually cost about 10.00 for up to 25 kids. How about Santa and the kids can sit on his lap and get a photo taken? Also, my husbands work always had a magician come and do little tricks. Coloring and or playdough is always fun too. Good luck

Face painting.. but then there will need to be grown-ups who will paint the kids faces.

Or, get a bunch of body tattoos... there are all kinds at www.orientaltrading.com There are a LOT of craft ideas/kits and activity ideas on this website too.... and at bulk rate prices. I get a lot of my things from there.

Good luck!
