Easy Christmas Tree Craft

Easy Christmas Tree Craft - Tea Time Monkeys

This pretty paper Christmas tree craft is really easy to make, even for very little ones. It’s also good for practising size words and size order, colours and shapes with preschoolers! You can make them all green, or make the top triangle white for a lovely snow-capped Christmas tree!

I’ve provided a printable template for download at the end of the post, including template pages for groups that you can just print straight onto card ready for kids to cut. Most of my three year olds were able to cut the triangles on their own, but I did have to help one or two.

We have other fun CHRISTMAS related crafts and resources that you might also like to try. See the end of the post for more!

Advice for small group classes:

This is a simple craft that takes about 20-30 mins to complete, depending on age and group size. Some three year olds may need help cutting the triangles, but for the most part they should be able to do it on their own.

Some tips:

  • Use the craft as an opportunity to practise size ordering with your pre-schoolers. Ask them to identify the big triangle, the medium triangle and the small triangle. Show them the tree you have already made and ask them to stack the triangles in the correct order.
  • Model how children should thread the pipe cleaners through the holes.
