Christmas tree decoration

12 November 2008

Beautiful and fun! We used small rubber balls for the core, lots of office pins, sequence, beads and stars, hearts or snowflakes to put right under the heads of the pins. We found it was easier to cover the surface of the ball by glueing sequence to it rather than placing the sequence at the end of each beaded pin. This also helped with the spacing of the decorated pins. A small piece of double folded ribbon is secured to the ball with sequence and a pin.

Overview

About MOPS

"MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers. MOPS International exists to meet the needs of every mom - urban, suburban and rural moms, stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single and married moms - moms with different lifestyles who all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be! MOPS recognizes that the years from infancy through kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs.

MOPS helps moms through relationships established in the context of local groups that provide a caring atmosphere for today's mother of young children." (Source: http://www.mops.org/)

"During the years of raising young children, mothers of preschoolers hunger for creative opportunities where individuality can be expressed. In the season when sentences are rarely completed, moms enjoy the opportunity to learn a new activity or finish something that becomes a visual aid for their invested efforts."
