When I first discovered this craft, I said “We have to do this in my preschool class. They will love it!” You see, each year my little kiddos make a Snowman Playdough Craft,which we did again this year.  It is such a great take-home that can be put on display. I even give them a little winter-scape mat to put them on. The Christmas tree craft can be a compliment to go with their snowmen or looks great on its own and it is really, really easy and fun to do.

Since my students are 3 years old, I simplified the process by making the cones in advance. They loved painting them using little sponges and tempera paint.

After painting their trees with green paint, we let them dry for a couple of hours. When we came back, we used multi-colored pom poms dipped in white school glue to be the ornaments. Then we added more glue using cotton swabs as brushes. We sprinkled some glitter on it and, voila,  a lovely decoration.
