  • Large Paper Plate – one per craft
  • Blue Craft Paint

  • When done painting, set aside the paper plate to allow it to dry completely.
  • To make the trunk of the tree, have your child lay one hand in the center of the brown paper.
  • Using a pencil, trace your child’s hand and part of their arm.
  • Cut out the traced design with the scissors.
  • Go ahead and staple that piece to the blue painted paper plate to make the tree trunk for the craft.
  • To finish off the Paper Plate Snowy Winter Tree – add the cotton ball snow, as well as a cardinal bird made out of the mini cupcake liner.

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
