We had 3 extra kids in the house yesterday, so I was looking for ways to keep them busy with something Christmas-y. We managed to bake Gingerbread cookies AND we made these cute little Christmas trees. They were super happy to get to break out the paints and glue! I don’t blame them. These are adorable!
“Make a Christmas Tree” – Paper Craft for Kids
Supplies:
Red Construction Paper (for background) Green Construction Paper (for tree) Yellow Construction Paper (for star) Brown Construction Paper (for trunk of tree) Paint Q-tips Glue ScissorsDirections:
- Cut 5 strips of green construction paper in varying lengths.
- Cut a star out of the yellow paper.
- Cut a stump out of the brown paper.
- Have child line them up on the red paper, biggest to smallest, with the smallest being on top.
- Glue them down.
- Glue star on top and stump on bottom.
- Use Q-tip to dot the Christmas tree with different colors for lights.
- Use white paint to dot all over the picture, including the tree to make it look like snow is falling.
You can see the uniqueness each one displays! The top 2 were made by the 3 year old’s and the bottom 2 by the 7 year old’s. I think they turned out so cute!
