Heart "Felt" Tree

Our Heart Felt Tree
What You'll Need:
Foam Tree
Color Felt
Yarn, Sting
Small pins, Velcro, or use strong craft glue to glue down felt to tree form.

Using a large sheet, or buy roll of green felt to wrap the tree form. We used glue to start, graduated to Velcro. Using tracing shaped cardboard, allows children to create "ornaments" and "stars", trace onto felt. Using scissors (child safe scissors did work), cut shapes. Using the yarn, criss-cross "lights" along your tree (yarn would just stick onto the felt for little ones).Using the cut out shapes, decorate the tree. We made two trees, they sat on the floor and kids decorated and redecorated the tree. Would also be fun for shape recognition, learning to tie, numbers, patterns learning.
