Who knew paper plates could be so versatile! Get creative with this Christmas Tree Craft Activity to show them how to turn a paper plate into a sparkly work of art.
Here’s how to make it:
- Take one of each of the two sizes of plates. Fold them in half both ways so you make quarters.
- Cut down the lines so you end up with 4 quarters of each plate.
- Take two quarters from the large plate and one quarter of the small plate top construct your tree (the small quarter goes at the top).
- Paint each section the colours you like. We’ve chosen green poster paint, but we’ve made some variations of the green by adding some yellow and/or white for some different colours. Paint with strokes, or dab for a leafy looking result.
- Once the paint is dry use glue to attached the 3 pieces, overlapping the layers so you have a three layer Christmas tree.
- Now to decorate! We’ve made some suggestions here of some craft items you can use, but let your imagination run wild. Glue your accessories on and voila!
