Let’s run through these awesome kid-made Christmas tree crafts and really get the holiday break started right! While you’re here make sure you check out all of our activities for kids that are perfect for young learners!
Tips to Make Christmas Tree Crafts with Kids
- First, be sure, if you’re doing anything with paint or glue, to protect your table with some press-and-seal. It’s the best invention for parents with crafty kids, seriously.
- Don’t feel like their craft needs to be perfect–and do not take over for them. There’s no reason for all that and you’re not helping them build confidence in their skills if you do it for them.
- Just because hot glue is involved doesn’t mean that little fingers need to be excluded from that part. You can find ultra low temp hot glue guns, let the kiddo point to where they want you to put the glue or find a way to make it work.
- Make sure to display their work prominently. You may not think that they notice, but they do, no matter how nonchalant they act. Whether it’s placing their Christmas tree craft on the mantle or fridge, those little acknowledgements of their work go a long way with the kiddos’.
