Let the Kids Decorate: Felt Christmas Tree and Snowman Ideas
The ARVOU TeamShare
Small children love to help decorate, but glass ornaments and little hands are not a great mix. A felt tree gives them their own tree to decorate, undecorate and decorate again, as many times as they like.
The felt tree
The Kids' Felt Christmas Tree, 3.3 ft ($24.99) hangs on a wall or door and comes with 41 soft ornaments that stick on and peel off.
The felt snowman
The Felt Snowman Build-Your-Own Set ($30.99) has 54 pieces: hats, scarves, gloves, buttons and noses that attach with hook-and-loop backing.
5 easy games to play
- Ornament of the day: add one new ornament each morning in December.
- Color sort: ask your child to put only red ornaments on the top half of the tree.
- Dress the snowman for the weather: check the forecast together and dress him for it.
- Story time: each ornament placed gets a one-sentence story.
- Hide and seek: hide a few ornaments around the room and let kids find and place them.
Placement tips
- Hang at the child's eye level so they can reach every branch.
- Choose a wall away from doors so the tree is not knocked by traffic.
- Keep loose small pieces away from babies who still put things in their mouths.
