First have children assemble the base of their tree by gluing THREE popsicle sticks together to look like a triangle.

Set aside to let it dry.

Repeat for each craft stick tree piece you want to make today.

Next squirt some paint on the paper plate and have children paint their newly made popsicle stick shape completely green.

Again, set aside to let it dry completely.

Repeat for each piece.

Now grab your scissors and all their paper pieces.

Cut out a large triangle to be the inside of the Christmas tree, from the green scrapbook paper.

Cut out a small rectangle from the brown cardstock, for the bottom of the craft.

Also cut out a small triangle from the yellow cardstock, for the top of the craft.

To finish off the Paper and Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree pieces - glue all your cut out paper pieces in their designated spots on the painted wood shape.

At this point in time, they can also glue on some small rhinestones for the "ornaments" on the tree.

Once done, set it all aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
