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.
Painted Paper Christmas Trees
MATERIALS
- Kraft paper
- White paper
- Tempera paint
- Brushes
- Plates or bowls for the paint
- Colored tape
- Tissue paper circles and other shapes for ornaments
INSTRUCTIONS
- 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.
- Paint your trees
Pour the paint into bowls or onto plates. Paint your tree green, or any color you’d like!
- 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.
You can also use different shaped sponges to sponge paint ornaments onto your trees, too!
Aren’t these so fun? There are so many ways they can be painted and decorated – each tree is totally unique!
