Build A Christmas Tree Activity
Start by printing out your craft template onto white paper or cardstock.
Using cardstock will make your Christmas tree craft a little bit more sturdy but it’s slightly harder to cut than paper so go with whichever one suits your best. I’ve used regular printer paper for my craft.
Next color in your Christmas tree and all the decorations that you want to use using your coloring pencils, markers or crayons as well as coloring in your Christmas tree topper.
You don’t need to use all the decorations but personally I’m very much more is more rather than having a minimalist approach when it comes to Christmas so as you can see in the photos I’ve used all of them.
Next grab a pair of scissors and cut all of the different pieces out.
Now it’s time to build your Christmas tree. Take the three separate parts of the tree and glue them together as shown on your printable and glue these to the Christmas tree’s pot.
Finally you can decorate your Christmas tree. Grab the lights and glue these onto your tree and then stick on your ornaments.
All you need to do is stick glue your Christmas tree topper to the top of your tree and your craft is finished.

These Christmas books are all perfect for kids and would be ideal for reading alongside making this activity.
