Simple Christmas Tree craft

Today we are getting in the Christmas mood and have made this Simple Christmas tree craft using cotton buds. You could make this into a card to give out or just to hang up in your house. Either way the kids will enjoy making it!

Simple Christmas Tree craft for kids to make

This is a nice easy activity to make when you are looking for something different than using a paintbrush. It’s great for developing those fine motor skills and colour recognition too!

To make it you’ll need:
Paper
Pen
Cotton buds
Rubber band
Paint

Once you have your supplies here is how you make it:
1. First draw the outline of the Christmas tree on your paper

step1-2step2-2

2. Take some cotton buds (I used about 6) and tie them together using a rubber band. Make a few of these depending on how many colours you want to use

step4-2 step5

3. Now your child can use the cotton buds to ‘stamp’ on the different coloured paints

step3-2 step6

We hope you enjoy!
