This week I’ve got a cute new Christmas tree craft with “snow” made from yarn.

This craft is really flexible in terms of the materials you use to make the tree and the colored overlay. The only “must have” item for this craft is white yarn.

This is a great craft for kids of all ages. Use it to explore different art techniques, different art tools, and also a bit of geometry as well.

Note: For more Christmas arts and crafts, see my Christmas Activities for Kids page.

Use this craft to experiment with different colors, drawing mediums, and art techniques. #artsandcrafts #Christmas #giftofcuriosity || Gift of Curiosity

To make this snow covered Christmas tree craft, you will need the following materials:

Paper
Something to color your paper: paint, crayons, markers, etc.
White yarn
Tape
Scissors

Start with two sheets of paper, one slightly larger than the other.

The smaller paper will be your tree. Paint or color it green. (Alternatively, you can use green paper.)

For some of our trees we decided to use liquid watercolor paints with salt sprinkled on them to get a textured look. For other trees, we simply used our Kwik Stix solid tempera paints to create a green background.

There’s no right or wrong way to do this step. Have fun with it!
