Decorate the Christmas Tree DIY Activity

This Christmas cut and paste sheet shows a large green tree in a red-and-gold stand on a rug, with a note that says "Glue your decorations here!" Below the dashed cutting line are 12 decorations in boxes: a star, a candy cane, a gingerbread man, a gift, a stocking, a bell, red, blue and green ornaments, a holly sprig, a star cookie and a bow.

Kids cut out each square or trim around the shapes, then paste them onto the tree wherever they like. It builds scissor skills and hand control, and it works well as a holiday craft for preschool and kindergarten.

For a potted tree in a snowy scene with a different set of ornaments, see Christmas Tree Cut and Paste Activity.
