Decorate a Christmas Tree Tray (invitation to create)

decorate a christmas tree tray- toddler at play (15)

This Decorate a Christmas Tree Tray (Invitation to Create) is a super simple way to keep kids busy, happy and learning all at the same time! The prep is so easy you’ll be done in less than 5 minutes. All you need is to cut the Christmas trees out of a piece of cardboard and arrange all of the decorating pieces around onto a tray. What’s awesome about this tray is that you can use leftover glitter, buttons, odd numbers and colors of pom-poms or any last years Christmas supplies you no longer need!

What is my child learning and improving?

Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed rice and a few fun sensory tools 💗  Now, yes, you’ve read that right. I dyed this rice using a little bit of beet water (from boiling beets) and about a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar. Add all into a big ziploc bag, shake and spread out on a sheet pan to dry completely, I like to do this overnight. This recipe is without any dyes, which I try to avoid. Even food dyes contain “lakes” and toxic stuff.  The beet water made a lovely deep pink color, perfect for Valentine’s Day! If you try this recipe out, let me know in the comments if you enjoyed it AND TAG me so I can take a peak!  SAVE for later and TAG your friends below to share!
