These popsicle stick holiday trees are super simple for young kids to make and a great way for them to get into the holiday spirit. Mix up different colors or add sparkles, glitter, and other embellishments.

Craft Supplies:

One of the best aspects of this winter tree craft is its simplicity. You won’t need to make a special trip to the craft store or invest in expensive supplies. Most materials can be found around your home or picked up during your next grocery run.

  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 3 per craft
  • School Glue
  • White Craft Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Small Paper Plate
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Craft Scissors
  • Silver or Gold Glitter Glue

Directions:

  • First have children assemble the base of their winter tree by gluing THREE popsicle sticks together to look like a triangle.
  • Set aside to let it dry. Repeat for each piece you want to make today.
  • Next squirt some paint on a paper plate and have children paint their newly made popsicle stick shapes completely white.
  • Again, set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Now grab your scissors and brown & white cardstock.
  • Cut out a small rectangle from the brown.
  • Go ahead and glue it to the popsicle stick piece to represent the trunk of the tree.
  • Next grab your white cardstock. Trim it down to fit inside the popsicle stick piece.
  • Glue it to the back of your piece.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Winter Tree – have children use glitter glue to “paint” snow all over the popsicle stick shape. If desired, sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top of that.
  • Once done, set it all aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
  • For easy displaying in your home – glue some string to the back for hanging on the tree or adding to gift packages!
