Family Card Tree
save
Ages preschooler
Deck your hall with boughs of cardboard. This wintry tree with plenty of branches is instant art for a door or wall -- and a fun way to show off cards. Kids can get creative designing the tree's shape and clipping each day's new arrivals to the branches. A bird cut from paper or felt makes a nice finishing touch.
What you'll need
- 36- by 48-inch presentation board (available at craft and office-supply stores) or a painted piece of cardboard from a flattened box
- Pencil
- Scissors or craft knife
- Spiral paper clips
- Removable foam tape (we used Scotch 1-Inch Removable Mounting Squares)
How to make it
Lay the presentation board flat and facedown on a protected surface. Use the pencil to draw a tree with several branches on each side of the trunk.
Cut out the tree. Slip paper clips over the branches and along the trunk at regular intervals.
Affix several foam-tape squares to the back of the trunk and branches, then press the tree firmly to a wall or door.
