![]() It’s a calm and gentle book about the birth of Jesus in a way only Margaret Wise Brown could accomplish. In this book though there is something that the other doesn’t have, most notably Baby Jesus. ![]() I like this book but my son kept saying ” That’s not right” thinking that this was the other book. What’s nice about this craft is that kids are able to manipulate the shapes themselves, instead of simply identifying them on a page.īecause this is a flat craft this is a great one to send to far away grandparents or other loved ones in the mail ! BooksĬhristmas in the Barn by Margaret Wise Brown will sound very familiar to you if you are a fan of her book The Big Red Barn, which both my son and I am. Add as many or as few as your little Picasso decides.My son was not happy that I pre-cut the shapes, so he had to make some too. Add glue for the triangle on top and add it.Pop the largest trapezoid on, don’t forget to label the shape or ask your child what it is.The sneak peak was all he needed to understand what we were making. I showed my son how the shapes fit together to make a tree before handing him the glue. Hand your child the red paper and glue.While they color cut out the circles and squares for the ornaments. ![]() Invite your child to the table and have them color the star- lately my son has been playing ” Am I done yet?” after making one dot of color my reply is always ” I don’t know are you?” to which is keeps coloring and the game continues.Next draw a star on the plain white paper – set aside.Start by drawing the tree with 1 triangle and 2 trapezoids on the green paper.You will need a red piece of construction paper, a green piece, some fun contrasting scrap pieces ( I used old card stock), scissors, glue, some plain white paper, yellow marker and a paper punch if you have it. This Christmas tree craft is perfect for toddlers and young preschoolers but older kids will enjoy it too, just make sure to provide fun papers and have older children cut out their own shapes! Also I have always found it tricky to work trapezoids into shape activities for young kids, this is a perfect time! This is a fun way to make a shape lesson festive. ![]()
