Ingredients
Instructions
- Take your paper plate and cut it into thirds. Have your kid paint each section a different green color or all the same and allow to dry (if painting all the same green, you can paint the plate first if you want and cut it up after paint is dry). When dry, cut one section a little smaller to be the top section of your tree.
- Stack your three tree sections overlapping and glue or tape in place. Cut a rectangle out of brown paper for the trunk and glue or tape onto the back of the tree.
- If you want to add a garland, you can use a hole punch to punch out an even number of holes in the bottom of each layer and then thread a pipe cleaner through the holes and tape the ends onto the back of your tree.
- For the star, cut a star shape out of yellow paper or glitter paper and glue to the top of your tree.
- Allow kids to dip their fingers into a small amount of paint to add fingerprint ornaments to the tree or use glue and pom pom, sequins, or cut up shapes of paper to add more ornaments!
