Collages are a simple form of art that look great and are simple and easy for kids to create. To make Christmas tree collages, you need a paper plate, red or gold paint, different shades of green paper (some shiny, if possible) and a small square of brown paper. 

For this activity:

1. Paint a paper plate red or gold and let it dry.
2. Cut small squares from the green paper, varying in size slightly. Older children can help with the cutting as well. 
3. On the dry paper plate, sketch a light pencil shape of a Christmas tree. 
4. Begin filling the tree outline by gluing the squares of green, overlapping at different angles. 
5. Add the brown square at the bottom for the trunk.
6. Make a hole at the top for a sting or pipe cleaner that can be used to hand up your creation!
