Get Active: Paper Strip Christmas Tree

Tuesday 14th November 2017

Equipment

• Piece of paper or use a template (templates available to download at http://bit.ly/2xqZXTh)
• Pre-cut strips of paper/tissue paper
• Pritt Stick or glue
• Colouring pens or pencils (optional)
• Additional decorations – glitter, stickers or pom-poms (optional)

Instructions

1. Download and print off a template for each child or provide a piece of paper they can draw the tree.
2. Stick strips of paper on to the paper, with the longer strips at the base of the tree and the shorter strips at the top. Position the strips at different angles and overlap them.
3. Finish off by decorating with colouring pens or pencils, glitter, stickers, pom-poms, etc.

This craft will also work well with other shapes including a bauble or star. You could cut out the shapes afterwards, add a whole in the top and a ribbon to turn this into a Christmas tree decoration.
