              Bells Arts & Crafts
               
  
              
               Aluminum Foil Bells
              
              Cover styrofoam cups 
              with aluminum foil. Attach pipe cleaner. 
              Insert the pipe  cleaner up through the center of the bell. 
               Bend the pipe cleaner to make a hanger.  
              
              
                Foam Bell
              
              Cut out two bell shapes from craft foam for each child. Use a hole 
              punch to 
 make a hole at the top of each bell shape.  Thread a jingle bell onto 
              a pc. of 
 ribbon.  Put a line of glue down the center of one of the foam bells 
              and lay the 
 ribbon along it so that the jingle bell pokes out at the bottom.  
              Glue the second 
 foam bell on top of the first so that the ribbon is sandwiched between the 
              two 
 bell shapes.  (Hot glue gun works best)  Thread another ribbon 
              through 
 the holes at the top of the bell.  Tie a knot in the ribbon and hang. 
               
                
              Jingle Bell Rock
              
              Cut bell shapes from cardstock or poster board.  Have each 
              child decorate a bell shape 
 with crayons 
              or markers.  Laminate them.  Hot glue a real jingle bell 
              to the bottom of 
 each laminated bell shape and tape a popsicle stick to the back of the  
              laminated bell shape.  Let your children shake their bells to 
              Jingle Bell Rock! 
                
              Christmas Bell
              
              Make a Christmas bell from a plastic cup. Punch hole in the 
 bottom of the cup and attach a pipe cleaner and jingle bells. 
                
              Paper Christmas Bell
              
              Trace around a bell 
              pattern and cut out.  
              Add a dinger and a real ribbon at the top. 
              
              
                
              Styrofoam Cup Bells
              
              Make styrofoam cup bells by painting or decorating the outside of 
              a cup with markers 
 and stickers.  Then thread a pipe cleaner through the top and make a 
              loop on outside 
 to hold the bell.  Thread on a jingle bell on the inside pipe cleaner 
              and tie knot at the end.  
                
              Bell Shakers
              
              Make a shaker for your child by putting two or three jingle bells 
              into a small box or a paper 
 towel tube and securely tape the container closed.  Let the children 
              decorate their shakers by gluing  
              or taping on short crepe-paper streamers.  Have them shake 
              their shakers all around to make the bells ring.
