Families are starting to decorate their homes for the holidays, but decorations don’t always have to be store bought. Often the most treasured ones are made by little hands. This simple yet engaging fuzzy Santa beard craft is popular at our house. My daughter Grace was occupied for well over 30 minutes as she and I painted Santas in many different colors.
