Popsicle/lolly sticks have so many uses, especially at this time of year! Use markers or paint to decorate the sticks and glue them together to make Christmas tree decorations.

For this activity:

1. Rather than giving your child a pattern to follow, give them the sticks and some paint and ask them to come up with some ideas for decorations.
2. Experimenting with different shapes that can be made with the sticks is fun and creative.
3. Discuss different symbols of Christmas and how these sticks might be used to make these shapes.
4. Embrace their creativeness, even if the results aren’t perfect! As much as I enjoy crafts with clear steps and uniform results, it is also nice to let children plan and produce unique creations.
