We love making little Christmas paper plate trees, either to place on the table or to hang from the ceiling, this frugal little trees will be a delight for little hands.
Starting off, we have our cone shaped trees, with a little help, these are perfect for toddlers and preschoolers to make! Let the kids do the painting, you make the cone, and have them decorate the little trees with age appropriate decorations.
For toddlers it can be torn tissue paper and large pom poms they can easily dip into glue and stick to the tree, while older kids can handle smaller decorations (small pom poms, gemstones, yarn…).
