Christmas Triangle Tree Trimming
Children get into the spirit of the holidays by exploring ways to decorate their tree with seasonal symbols (that just happens to rely on geometry)!
1. On a large piece of green construction paper draw a big triangle with Crayola® Washable Markers.
2. Using Crayola Scissors, cut out your triangle. Divide it into three equal triangles and cut again.
3. With Crayola School Glue, glue the three triangle pieces spaced apart on a long piece of wide red ribbon.
4. Trim your tree by adding decorations such as ornaments, garland, and holiday symbols with Crayola Metallic FX Crayons, Crayola Glitter Glue, and markers.
5. Crumble small pieces of tissue paper and glue on your tree. Dry before hanging.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Glitter Glue—
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
