I made these I Spy Ornaments for my son’s preschool class at Christmas a couple of years ago and they were a huge hit. The kids loved shaking their I Spy Ornaments and finding all the treasures hidden in their ornament.

where did you get the filler?
Cathy you can buy it at a craft store. I either got it at Hobby Lobby or Joann Fabric. This time of year, you can usually find it with the Christmas crafts. The filler I used was found in the floral department.
