Paper Christmas Tree Craft

This paper Christmas Tree is a very easy and inexpensive craft activity for kids to make. It is made with 4 heart shapes.

Materials

• construction paper (green, brown, red, yellow, etc.) or white paper and crayons
• heart shapes (3 different sizes) for tracing
• pencil
• scissors
• glue
• paper punch (optional)

Directions

• Trace and cut 3 green heart shapes (small, medium, large).
• Trace and cut 1 brown heart shape (small).

• Turn the hearts upside down. Place the small brown heart on the bottom. That will be the tree truck.
• Place all 3 green hearts above the brown heart. Have the smallest green heart on top. Overlap the hearts.
• Glue the 4 hearts together.

• Finally decorate your tree. Have fun!
