Christmas Craft for ages 4 and Up

Christmas Crafts: Soufflé Cups!

Often when you think of using kitchen paper goods for crafts you think of paper plates or coffee filters but a soufflé cup can be a unique item to use. I have listed one below with two different options that make a fun Christmas Craft for home, child care centers or schools for ages 4 and older.

Soufflé Cup Christmas Tree

Materials Needed:

16 – 4 oz paper soufflé cups

1 – Each red and green crayon

3 – Q-tips

1 – Bottle of children’s glue (not glue stick)

1 – Each small container of red and green glitter

1 – 14”x15” piece of heavy cardboard

Instructions:

Step 1 – Place soufflé cups on newspaper or old shower curtain to protect surface.

Step 2 – Color inside bottom of 8 cups red and color inside bottom of 8 cups green using crayons.

Step 3 – Using a Q-tip, spread glue on outside sides of 1 red soufflé cup.

Step 4 – Sprinkle a small amount of red glitter on the glue sides.

Step 5 – Repeat steps 3 and 4 for 7 more red cups and then do the same for the 8 green cups using green glitter. Let dry completely.

Step 6 – Place the cardboard 14” length and 15” height on your surface.

Step 7 – Starting with 1 soufflé cup, place it at the very top (center) of the cardboard. Then place 2 cups (centered), touching sides, directly below first one. Place 3 cups directly below the 2 cups, 4 cups directly below the 3 cups and 5 cups directly below the 4 cups. Place the last cup (this is the tree base) directly below the middle cup on last row. Alternate the colors, making sure to use green for the base.

Step 8– Beginning back at the top, glue all soufflé cups in place. Let dry completely.

Now for the Options!

Option 1

Your craft tree can be a gift! Put pieces of small wrapped candy in each soufflé cup. You can write a greeting directly on the cardboard or write it on a separate square of paper and glue it to the cardboard. This is a perfect idea for relatives and your children’s favorite teacher!

Option 2

Your tree can be a game! Place the cardboard on a table or floor. Using heavy buttons, coins, or marbles, make up a tossing game; any number of players can play.

Souffle Cup multiple uses

Paper or plastic soufflé cups are helpful in a daycare center because small snacks can be served neatly and efficiently. But souffle cups are also handy in art class! Cups are a great way to give each child or group of kids a small amount of a craft item, like glitter or paint. Cups can also be used as a craft by themselves. For example, use a paper soufflé cup as a basket with small holes punched in the sides and a pipe cleaner handle. Add some paper ears and draw a face on the front and you have a small Easter bunny basket to store jelly beans. A cup can also be added as a nose on a paper plate animal face.
