• For a bit more fun use a stop watch and set a time limit for their creation to be made in.

• To make the game even more exciting add decorations such as pre-cut baubles or stars which can be made in advance. Just cut out the shapes using yellow and red card and add a blob of blue tack to the back of each shape.
