I got these HUGE sheets of green paper from my mother-in-law and since they were green, decided to put them to work as Christmas decorations 😉
Lily and I started out by coloring the huge pieces of paper. I would draw shapes, she would color them in. We then switched to having crayon races, and trying to go FAST! and sloooooow.
I cut the paper into three triangles, then cut some stars out of scrapbook paper, trunks out of a paper bag, attached glue dots to the back, then Lily helped me hang them up.
She was mad at first that I was cutting the paper, but once she realized that we were making Christmas trees, she got SO excited!
If we are ready for another project, I’ll have them add ornament circles!
I love how they turned out, they look so happy in the room, and she was so proud. 🙂

Oh my gosh, I am definitely stealing this idea! I love how big the trees are too - your first picture was a little deceiving 😉 Thanks for the crafty idea! =)

How creative! I will have to show the little ones. They will want to do the same thing.

Supercute! I'm amazed your daughter did that much scribbling! Mine would probably be done with this activity in about three minutes flat.

They do look so happy in the room! They scream kids live here and we have a fun mom. Just saying.
