To get kids involved in making wreaths, you can use small circles and let them glue on strips of green construction paper for the base of the wreath then let them glue on some small toys or jingle bells or even pictures cut from a magazine. A good ring to use as a base is a cool whip cover. Just cut a hole in the middle and you will have a round ring for the wreath base.
