Suggested Family Activity • Paper Chain Decorations
Before the time of mass-produced ornaments, people decorated their homes with paper chains, strings of dried fruit such as cranberries and orange slices, and strings of popcorn. Try one (or all) of these crafts today! Paper chains also make a fun countdown calendar to your favorite winter holiday. Make one early in the month and then pull off a loop each day. Stringing popcorn is also a fun decoration for trees and shrubs outside – it gives visiting birds and squirrels a holiday treat.
