Dot Tree: Simple Christmas Craft for Kids

Okay, so this is going to be my first tutorial. It's a very simple Christmas craft for kids. Even the tiniest of artists can make this.

Dot Tree

Materials needed:

• white dot stickers (or colored dot stickers, which are helpful for the littlest of artists)
• colored construction paper
• markers, crayons, or colored pencils
• gluestick
• hole punch
• string
• optional: cardboard

Instructions:

1. Cut out a triangle for the shape for the tree. Cut out a small rectangle for the trunk of the tree. (Older kids can probably cut out these shape on their own.)

2. Color the dots. (Toddlers can just scribble on the dots or they can use pre-colored dots.)


3. Stick the dots onto the tree.

4. Glue the trunk to the bottom of the tree.

5. Optional: cut out a star shape and glue it to the top of the tree. (I happened to have a star punch, so I punched out the stars.)

6. Punch a hole at the top of the tree and put a short piece of string through the hole and tie a knot. (I used red embroidery floss, but any string or yarn will work.)

Optional: If you want a more durable tree, you can glue it to cardboard prior to applying the dots.

Voila!
