Crafty Idea – Pine Tree Forest
This is a really simple way to make an interesting table or mantle display. Vary heights and sizes of trees for your own pine tree forest!
Supplies: construction paper in shades of green, green card stock, scissors, tape or glue, piece of cardboard or paper to use as the forest ‘base’
 |
Directions:
1. For each tree, cut two identical triangles from green cardstock. Bend wide end over to make a 2.5 cm (1″) flap that can be glued to forest base. Glue or tape triangles to forest base so they’re facing each other, approx 1.5 cm (~ 1/2″) apart 2. Cut circles from various shades of construction paper or paper, starting with a large circle that is wider than the base of your triangle tree, and making additional circles that are smaller than the previous. We made 6 circles per tree. |
3. Fold largest circle in half, and cut two crosswise slits on either side of centre, approx 1.5 cm (~1/2″) apart. Slide largest circle over top of tree triangles, settling at the base. Note: younger kids will need help with this!
4. Continue adding slits to circles and sliding them onto the tree base until the smallest circle is fitted to the top of tree.
5. Decorate your trees with stickers, tissue, etc if you want to, or make more trees to create a forest.

Crafty Idea – Sparkly Snowflakes
A simple twist to the ever-famous paper snowflake! Great for kids who are too young to cut an ornate snowflake – you do the cutting, they do the sprinkling!
Supplies: white paper, scissors, glue, sugar, sponge or cotton swab, string
 |
Directions:
1. Fold your square or round piece of paper into half, then again into quarters. Use scissors to cut small shapes out of the paper. When you open your paper you will have a snowflake shape 2. Mix one part glue with one part water to create a thin glue. Place snowflake on a vinyl placemat or splashmat, and dab glue onto snowflake. |
3. Sprinkle sugar over glue covered area. Flip your snowflake, dab with glue, and sprinkle again. Let your snowflake dry by hanging or clipping it up, or by letting it rest over the lid of a cup or bowl.
