Updated September 2022

This paper Christmas tree activity gives little kids a chance to explore and paint big! It’s completely open-ended, but still has a nice holiday feel.

Children can paint large paper Christmas trees and then add tissue paper ornaments. We hope you give this process art activity a try with your family or art group.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prepare supplies

    Hang a large piece of Kraft paper on the wall for the background. Cut out a Christmas tree from the white paper and tape to the backdrop with colored tape.

  2. Paint your trees

    Pour the paint into bowls or onto plates. Paint your tree green, or any color you’d like!

  3. Add ornaments!

    You can add tissue paper shapes as ornaments to your tree. Either add them while the paint is still wet, or use glue to attach them.
