Button craft Christmas tree. This is a lovely simple craft to make at home or with a group. It’s fairly flexible – you don’t need to use buttons, tissue paper, wrapping paper, stickers will all work well. Children don’t have to fill in all the circles but if you want to make this a little more educational they can do some shape matching.
The buttons in this craft make the tree a little bit extra special. Older children can match the correct sized button to the circles. Use PVA glue as buttons are heavier than paper/card and will need a strong glue to stick firmly. Make sure there is plenty of time for the glue to dry before these are taken home or the buttons will fall off!
If under fives are going to be doing the craft use stickers instead as buttons are a chocking hazard.
If you like you can also add glitter glue/ glitter and a star on the top. For the star a star shaped sticker would be great.
Use the PDF file to print the trees onto card – it will work better than paper, although if paper is all you have that’s OK. Coloured card works really well, take a look at the example below.
Finally, the tree can be cut out, some ribbon attached to the top, and you have a lovely, home made Christmas decoration. Don’t forget to add the child’s name and the date to the back.
