Flying Kewpie Christmas Ornaments

       This Christmas ornament clip art by Rose O'Neill was cleaned and colorized by Kathy Grimm. Please read the Terms of Use before printing it out for personal crafts only.

We Want to Fly About Your Christmas Tree
Designed by Rose O'Neill

       Cut out the backs and fronts of the Flying Kewpies, join them together, inserting a loop of red string or ribbon in the topknot before it dries. Lay under a weight.
       Hang the Flying Kewpies by their loops from the twigs of your Christmas tree. Be sure to wait till the paste is perfectly dry or the strings will come out and Kewpies fall.


       The Kewpies love to fly in the green branches of a Christmas tree, among the glittering bells and the shiny tinsel and the children's legs. Pop! goes Kewpie Army's gun as he shoots at a Teddy Bear. Kewpie Cook feels gay, for he's seen some dolly cookies and he means to get the recipe for the Kewpies.
 
 
       The flying Kewpies never have such good times anywhere else as they have in a Christmas tree. They skip and caper, dance and prance, and gurgle and grin so gleefully that all little boys and girls, babies and grown ups who see them and even the stuffed animals and the jumping jacks who see them laugh too.

A ''Merry Christmas'' Acrostic

Merry glad Christmas is here once again.
Each Christmas carol bids "Good will to men.''
Red are the berries, and green is the tree,
Rich are the presents for you and for me.
Yule logs are blazing; then open wide the door.

Christ gave his love to the rich and the poor.
Hang up the stockings, a dangling row.
Ring out the glad bells across the white snow.
In the still hours, list, girls, and list, boys!
Santa Claus comes with his sleighful of toys!
Take your full stockings but think ere you play
Many a poor child has no Christmas Day.
And with this sharing, this ''Good will to men!"
Singing, we welcome glad Christmas again.

  2. I like these Kewpie ornaments so much that I think I'm going to print out a set to decorate my Valentines tree as well.
