Great ornament for kids to make for school party or teacher's gifts

My mother made these simple ornaments with us as kids and now I will be making them with my daughter's kindergarten class as a Holiday party craft. I searched the internet for ideas, but nothing fit the ease and appropriateness of this old tried and true idea.

Materials:
-Black matte board (use Michael's coupon for large piece and cut to size)
-Popsicle sticks
-White paint pen
-Scrap book stickers (the Christmas ones were included in one of the weekly 50% off pre-holiday sales)
-Thin ribbon (also part of the weekly sales)

Loop the ribbon and hot glue it to the front face of the matte board. Then glue the sticks to the matte board to create the frame. Next have the kids write letters, numbers, words, etc inside the frame and their name and the year on the back. Lastly, glue a decorative accent to the lower corner of the frame.

The kids will love being involved in DESIGN-ing their own gifts and sharing the talents they have learned in school as a gift to family, friends or teachers.
