Paper Plate Gingerbread Christmas Tree Craft Idea

Perfect for tiny hands and eager minds, this gingerbread tree craft project is an easy and fun way for children to get into the holiday spirit!

Supplies Needed:

Before embarking on this festive craft project, gather all necessary supplies to ensure a smooth crafting session.

Directions:

  • First things first – cut your paper plate in half and then cut each half, in half again. This will make FOUR triangles for your tree.
  • Now grab your school glue and glue the paper plate triangles into a tree formation. Just place a little bit of glue on the back of each piece and layer them on top of each other. You do can do two triangle pieces, three, four etc. for your tree. You could even skip this step all together & have each triangle be it’s own tree.
  • Next grab your white puffy paint. This is the “frosting” for the tree. Place several squiggles of paint on the rim of each triangle piece.
  • Sprinkle loose craft glitter on top of the white paint.
  • Now for the “candy ornaments” in the craft. Glue rhinestones anywhere you like. Just a dab of glue and then drop the rhinestone on top.
  • At this point in time you should also add a “peppermint candy” on top for the “star” of the tree to really pull the theme together.
  • Finally, to finish off Sequined Gingerbread Holiday Tree craft, cut and staple/glue on the stump of the tree from brown cardstock paper.
  • Then let it dry completely before displaying proudly!

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!
