Today I’m going to continue with another Christmas Craft. This one will be a Pine Cone Christmas Figurine Ornament. It is super cute and will look terrific on the Christmas Tree. Let each of the kids make one of these figurine ornaments…. they will love hanging something up on the tree that they made themselves. Plus, it is so much fun. So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started.
