<<<<Tell them you need it for your art show. And...that you had not planned
holiday crafts in your curriculum this year. Then innocently ask...don't

I always said, "I was taught to not do "holiday" projects...that's the
regular class room teacher's choice." Tell them you did and planned this
successful project specifically for your Spring Art Show.
