Dutch December skyline

The Dutch website juf Lisette has a lesson we do every year: the December skyline! 5 December is the day Sinterklaas visits all Dutch children to give them presents. You can read more about Sinterklaas and his Petes in the category Typical Dutch.

What do you need?

• construction paper in dark blue, yellow and black
• paperclips
• scissors
• cutting knife
• cutting blade
• glue

What should you do?

1. Draw the skyline of a street on black paper. Add a tree if you want to, or draw a Pete near the chimney.
2. Put the black sheet on the yellow one and attach them to each other with four paperclips. Cut out the skyline; you'll cut two sheets at the same time. 
3. Remove the paperclips and cut some windows out of the black sheet.
4. Cut a moon out of the rest of the yellow sheet.
5. Stick the black and yellow skyline together and slide the black sheet one millimeter so you see the yellow edges.
