Cookie clay ornaments
Cinnamon ornaments
Color or cut an icon out and place in an ornament frame
The Crafty Crow has a fun list of kid-friendly ornaments
You can pretty much "Orthodox" any ornament idea by adding an icon or something. Old catalogs are perfect for cutting out icons to use. They are the perfect size and there is usually a great selection. The Conciliar Press catalog is my favorite one. Whenever a new one arrives, I look forward to cutting up the old one and making something fun with the boys. :)
If anyone has any questions just ask! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!!

Where do you get those glow in the dark stars? Do you have to order them or are they available in a store? What a great idea for Sunday School .I don't have any catalogs right now,but someone posted some small icons that would work-if I can remember which site!Thanks,Andrea
PS Do you have a good recipe for Greek Christmas bread to share?
Hi Andrea! I found the stars at the grocery store, if I remember correctly. They have them in a lot of places though, check the 1.00 aisles at Target and Wal-Mart or just randomly hanging in supermarket aisles. :) Enjoy!!
Thanks. I wouldn't have thought to look there.I realized that my Light-n-Life catalog has the little icon pictures so we can at least do something next Sunday. Hope you'll post some of the ornaments you receive.I'm sure I am not the only one looking for ideas.Thanks for the ideas. Andrea in PA
Darn! I am so sad I missed this! We were away and then sick. Please say you will do this again next year! :)
God willing, I would love to have my girls participate in this next year!
