Folded Christmas Tree Card

Folded Christmas Tree craft for kids. Printable Christmas tree card for kids to make.
There are several ways to decorate and display this folded Christmas tree. Shown here the tree template was printed on green printer paper then cut apart, folded and used for the front of a Christmas Card for children to give.  This craft is for elementary school aged children as it takes a little bit of skill to fold the tree.
MATERIALS:
  • PDF for the Folded Christmas Tree
  • Craft glue
  • Scissors
  • Sequences, or use a hole punch with different colors of construction paper
  • Colored construction paper or printer paper
