To make a very simple Christmas tree, cut out a large tree from a sheet of green 12x12 cardstock paper. Use a circle punch to punch out small circles of various colors. Kids will have fun using a glue stick to attach the "lights" to the tree. You can also add some glitter or sequins to the "lights" or directly on the tree. Cut a star from yellow felt for the tree topper. Get even more creative and use pine needles as the tree trunk. Your child can make presents from wrapping paper scraps and glue them around the tree.
To make a stocking, cut a large sock shape from a sheet of red 12x12 cardstock paper. Gle cotton balls around the top of the stocking. Have your child look through magazines or toy books to find pictures of items on their wish lists. After the pictures have been cut out of the magazine, use a glue stick to attach them to their Christmas stocking.
Snowmen are easy to make from styrofoam balls of varying sizes. Purchase three different sizes of styrofoam balls at your local craft store. Using a hot glue gun, glue the balls together in the shape of a snowman. Add wiggly eyes, a nose and sticks for the arms. You might also choose to add a hat or a scarf for your snowman.
Making ornaments can be alot of fun for children. Buy a clear round ball ornament from your local craft store. Allow your child to use paint to paint the ball. Let the ornament dry completely before adding to the tree. Many craft stores also carry wooden ornaments that are perfect for painting.
