materials:

• Egg cartons
• Kids watercolors
• Paintbrushes
• Artificial snow
• Liquid school glue
• Craft scissors
• Hot glue gun + glue sticks
• Cardboard

Instructions:

*Supervision required*

• Cut long rectangles out of the cardboard, roll together and hot glue. These will be the tree trunks.

• Using the craft scissors, cut the middle (triangle) sections of the egg carton out. Cut out as many as you need, each tree has 3 egg carton sections.
• Next, paint the egg carton sections using watercolors. I did pink and teal, but you can get creative! Let dry well.

• Now, using the craft scissors make deep slits on each egg carton section.

• Using the hot glue gun, glue 3 egg carton sections together. Hot glue the tree trunks. Let set.

• Lastly, using a paintbrush apply, randomly, a little bit of liquid school glue on the Christmas trees, sprinkle with artificial snow and let dry. Working over a paper plate keeps the mess to a minimum!
