Grinch in the Chimney Ornament

(This might be better for older kids). Start with an empty black film canister to resemble a chimney. Use red Christmas ribbon to form a loop by gluing one ribbon to each side of the canister at the top. Add a border of cotton balls around the top of the canister to resemble snow and to cover the two ends of the ribbon. Glue a medium green pompom just inside the canister to form the bottom of the Grinch. Cut two pieces of green pipe cleaners to form this legs and feet. Add dark boots at the end of the legs by coloring the pipe cleaner with a marker. Bend them so them look like feet. Glue them to the pompom and let it dry.

Activities

Read the book!

Show the movie at the end of the program - either the original animated one or the newer version with Jim Carrey, depending on your audience. The original is better for younger kids, and is much shorter (26 minutes).
