Christmas Card Tree

This is one of the simplest and easiest Christmas decorations that you and your kids can make together without making a huge mess. It’s also a great way to display all the cards you’ve received. You can help your kids by making an outline of a Christmas tree on the wall so they stick the cards inside.
Use blue-tac to stick it easily and have your kids cut out a star or ornaments to hang on top of the tree. If you don’t have enough cards, the kids can make their very own or even just cut out different ornaments and decorate them. It will not only look pretty but it will also be a lot of fun to make.

- Colored pipe cleaners
To make the ornaments, use the colored pipe cleaners and have your kids insert the beads on to it. Once the beads are in place, it is quite easy to bend the pipe cleaners to make the shapes. You can make candy canes, tree ornaments, or a Christmas tree.
