Kids and adults can make these cute holiday trees using cut paper and craft sticks.
By: Andrea Mulder-Slater
These paper trees are just what you need when you have a few extra classroom minutes to fill during the holidays.
What You Need:
- A popsicle stick
- A small wooden block, a wine cork, or a hunk of play dough
- Colourful paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Small sticky-back gems
- Dried grass or raffia
What You Do:
Glue a popsicle stick to a wooden block or wine cork. Or, place the stick in a hunk of play dough.
Then, cut five small strips of paper – from larger to smaller. Glue the paper strips to the popsicle stick, add some shiny button stickers and a sticker star and your tree is ready for the mantle.
If you are so inclined, you can also glue a little stash of dried grass or raffia to help camouflage the base of the tree. But that’s entirely up to you.
Voila!
