If you're looking for an easy, low-prep Christmas craft, then look no further! This Recycled Christmas Tree Craft only requires a piece of cardboard, liquid school glue, Christmas tree branches and glittery foam balls. 

All activities should be supervised by an adult. This post contains affiliate links- this just means I earn a small commission if you purchase via links below, no extra cost to you! Read our disclosure policy here.

materials:

  • Cardboard
  • Liquid school glue
  • Gold foam balls (small)
  • Craft scissors
  • Christmas tree branches

Optional:

  • Q-tip
  • Paper plate

 

Instructions:

  • Cut out a piece of cardboard to be approximately 4″x 6″. 
  • Next, trim the Christmas tree branches into various sizes.
  • Next step is optional, but I always like to do this for little ones. Place the liquid school glue onto a paper plate and add a q-tip. This way the kids can easily apply the glue, rather than squeeze the glue bottle which may be difficult. 
  • Add a little bit of glue to the stem of the branch (not the needles) and glue to the cardboard. Create a Christmas tree by adding longer branches towards the bottom and shorter branches towards the top. Let set and dry.
  • Lastly, glue the small glittery gold foam balls onto the Christmas tree. Let dry.

What is my child learning and improving?

  • Fine motor skills (picking up the foam balls, holding the q-tip to glue)
  • Hand-eye coordination (gluing)
  • Diligent and focus

 

Have fun with this simple craft idea for kids!
