Materials

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Print and cut out Dora Photo Frame Template. Trace the frame template to stiff felt of your color choice twice and cut out both shapes from felt. (We picked green and purple stiff glitter felt for our craft.) If using glitter felt, trace the shape to the wrong side of the felt so the glitter side doesn't show tracing lines.

  2. Step 2

    Glue the two felt shapes together. Apply glue only to the edge of the sides and the bottom. Leave out the top to create an opening, through which you can insert the photo later.

  3. Step 3

    Decorate the front and back of the frame in various styles. Glue a piece of ribbon or yarn along the inner frame edge on either side. Fabric paints and gem stones would be great choices for kids to decorate free-style.

  4. Step 4

    Print and cut out the Dora Christmas Carol Images. Glue the image and your child's photo (4 by 6 inches) back to back. Have your child sign the date. Slip in the double-sided image through the top opening.

  5. Step 5

    Poke/punch a hole through both layers at the top of the frame and hang it up. It's a seasonal greeting from both Dora and your little one in one frame!
