I drew 2 Christmas trees and had B decorate each with the corresponding dot stickers (can you tell I’m rolling in dozens of new colors of dot stickers? 🤣). Honestly, I hadn’t planned on doing both in the same day, and I wouldn’t have except that she requested “another Christmas tree.” Thankfully, I had one! 😅 One tree worked on numbers 1-12 and the other tree on letters…
I absolutely love when friends share ideas with B and I in mind, and such was the case with these upside down ice cream cone Christmas 🎄 trees. They may not be picture perfect, but they were a ton of fun to make and the children really enjoyed the process (maybe you noticed 😋).

All credit goes to @moorethanhappy who was playing with the children during morning table time at school and created this with Play-Doh and some tools.

When setting this up, keep in mind that pom poms are easier to use because of their bigger size, and the sequins requires a much more…
Depending on the age and creativity of your littles, this activity could turn out a dozen different ways. Draw or print out a Christmas tree 🎄, add some paint 🎨, and use a fork 🍴 as a paintbrush 🖌 to give it the texture of pine needles. It also gives the kids an opportunity to experience painting with a different medium, mixing colors if you use more than one, and the supplies are something…
