These little guys turned out so cute all together. We did this craft in the Extended Resource Room where I volunteer. The craft is good for the kids, a group that isn't naturally so artistic. It helps their dexterity and encourages them to stick with a task. The project is super simple but, as you can see, the results are really cute.
What You'll Need:
- Pine cones
- Green tempura paint
- Paint brush (a broad, hard bristle works best)
- Tree decor items (we used white glitter and yellow paper stars)
The kids first get to paint the tree. Encourage them to paint the top and under side of each "leaf." This works best if you begin and the top and systematically work down, leaving an unpainted part to hold on to. While the paint was still wet, we sprinkled them liberally with white glitter to give a snow affect. Once they were dry, we simply glued the stars on top with a glue gun. Next time we do this craft we'll use colored glitter and assorted gems and pom-pom balls for decoration.
