| Green felt; my piece is 36x36in, different coloured felt sheets, painters tape and scissors |
 |
| Fold the greet felt in half and draw one half of a tree (I used my daughters Crayola Markers) |
 |
| Tape to your wall with painters tape |
 |
| I used washable markers and a mug to make some ornaments out of the red felt. |

| Tape the star to the top and place the ornaments on the tree, now your toddler can rearrange as they wish! |
This post is about a craft I saw on Pinterest that I HAD to do for my daughter Lily. She will be 2 in January (WOW!) and this is the perfect Christmas activity for her.
Here's how it works, you get a big piece of green felt; cut it into a tree shape or just a triangle if you want and tape it to your wall with painters tape. Then you cut out a bunch of "ornaments" for the tree out of different coloured pieces of felt. The felt ornaments stick to the felt tree so the toddler can rearrange the ornaments as they wish.
Here's what you will need:
- A big piece of green felt (mine is 36x36 inches)
- a few different sheets of coloured felt
- some painters tape
- scissors
The whole project cost me $10.50 (I had the painters tape and the scissors).
This is not my idea, I got the idea from this blog, original post below

I love clever ways of structuring crafts that give kids a chance to play and be creative but that don't end up with a heap of brown paint mixed together!
ReplyDeleteYou could do seasonal ones - imagine a cherry blossom tree with little birds and a squirrel!
You are amazing! I can't believe you are making crafts like this while you have two little ones! I barely got some string lights up last weekend.
ReplyDeleteBibi, a spring tree would be SO cute!
Don't forget to get Lily to sweep up the little needles!
