Glitter Christmas Tree Craft for Toddlers

Earlier today we shared our pom pom painted Christmas tree craft. It was so quick and easy to make that the girls asked to paint some more, but this time they wanted to add a little sparkle.

This time we used white Christmas trees and different shades of white and blue paint. To help the glitter stick a little better we mixed a bit of school glue into the paint.

They both started by painting with pom poms.

Then they added silver glitter.

And we now have some sparkly Christmas trees that are super easy for toddlers and preschoolers to create.

Less stress, more connecting this holiday season? Yes, PLEASE!

From the arrival of fall to Halloween to Thanksgiving and Christmas, the last four months of the year can be a wonderful opportunity for making family memories and spending time together, but they can also be stressful as we try to collect ideas, recipes, and activities to try together.

Stephanie Morgan, founder of Modern Parents Messy Kids, a site that’s been voted Best Craft Blog in Parents Magazine and one of babble.com’s Top 50 Craft Mom Blogs, recently released a new eBook to help us have a little less stress and more time to connect with family this year, and I’m so glad to be an affiliate for such a great resource.

Stephanie’s goal is to make it easier on all of us to enjoy the holidays with our kids. Hands-On Holidays is 100 pages full of her family’s very favorite ways to connect as a family over the holiday season. I love the convenience of having so many ideas in one place, and most of them are simple enough for even my toddler to participate in.

The book includes picture book suggestions, DIY decor, activities, and treats. Bonus sections also offer even more ideas to enjoy. Click here to view more details.
