Making Christmas ornaments is one of our favorite holiday traditions. So far we like to stick to easy ornaments that the girls can make without too much help from me. This Christmas tree ornament is one that preschoolers and school age kids can make with just a little help from an adult, so it’s perfect for holiday crafting at home or at school.

Materials

  • Green Mesh Plastic Canvas (link to similar)
  • Green yarn
  • Knitting needle
  • Mini tinsel pom poms
  • White glue

Materials for Fine Motor Christmas Tree Craft

Cut the green mesh into triangles of different sizes and angles. Then thread the green yarn through the knitting needle. Let kids choose a triangle to start with. Then get them started by tying off the end of the yarn and modeling how to go in and out of the mesh holes.

Older kids may want to create a pattern or follow the holes in order, but younger kids will likely enjoy sewing in and out of the mesh in a more open-ended way. That’s fine! The ornaments will turn out adorable either way.

The only assistance needed from adults at this point is just helping make sure kids pull the yarn all the way through each time so there aren’t loops of excess yarn hang out.

Once kids have added as much green yarn as they’d like help them tie off and knot the end. Then add a little loop of yarn to the top as an ornament hanger.

Finally let kids use place the pom poms on the trees with white glue. If you’d like to wait for one side to dry, you can also place pom poms on the back of the Christmas trees to make them two-sided.
