1. Tree decorating

Our first Christmas craft printable is our tree decorating with Tobias! Tobias needs all the help he can get from your little ones to decorate the perfect Christmas tree. You can use colored pencils or pens to decorate the tree. Or you could use sequins and ribbons, maybe even some glitter! A glittery star for the top of the tree could be wonderful!

Your kids will love being able to bring their own Christmas tree to life. And that means they’re less likely to want to wreck your actual tree. But who knows, maybe their design could lend inspiration to the one in your home!
