Craft: Christmas Tree
This week's craft was based on the picture at left. The children glued four strips of paper to a jumbo craft stick to make a Christmas tree. (4-1/2"x1", 3-1/2"x1", 2-1/2"x1", 1-1/2"x1") They then glued on a large star sequin to the top and could glue on sequins for ornaments.
Extension Activities:
- There are many traditions at Christmas. Explore the different traditions with your child. Learn the meaning behind the traditions and how Christmas is celebrated around the world. (There are several books available at the library on these topics.)
- Go on a Christmas light scavenger hunt. Drive through various neighborhoods to view the Christmas lights keeping track of different displays you see (i.e. snowflakes, stars, nativity, snowman, blow-up, etc.)
