Blogember day 12-create a santas grotto

You might do this earlier in a the month but as some families don't put up their decorations till now why don't you give it the children some left over decorations and give them a chance to crate a santas grotto. In previous years we have used chairs and boxes to fashion a sort of sleigh.  This was all led by the children so they made banners, paperhains and all sorts of creativity:

I unfortunately do not have any photos and due to privacy would not be able to share them anyway so have put some creative links below.

 My ideas

• use boxes to fashion a sleigh
• paper chains
• tinsel
• fairy lights
• decorate a chair as santas throne
• use any leftover decorations not used in the house
• mini trees
• bunting
• any decorations they have made
