DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Valentine's Tree Craft
I think this simple little cut and paste craft turned out very cute!
There are a variety of versions to the craft to add
complexity for older children.
The craft is simple enough for young kids to contribute but still fun for even mom to
make. I like doing the tissue paper version but it's tough for
preschoolers to make -- the templates are more appropriate for them.
There are a number of variations on this craft depending on which
templates you print:
- Template Version (younger children): print the trunk template
and the hearts template and paste them together. If you want a very well covered tree, print two copies of the Hearts template.
- Tissue Paper Version (older children): cut 1.5 inch squares
of tissue paper, wrap around the eraser end of a pencil and glue to the
trunk template.

Rather than using the Trunk template, you can decorate a "homemade" trunk (to make the trunk, trace your child's arm from
the elbow up, including the fingers) |
