Dear Readers,
We had some coffee filters lying around and I decided to use them for this really cute craft.
The skills this craft works on is coloring in the lines, pencil grip, and scissor skills.
To do this craft you need coffee filters, markers, something to decorate the tree with, a piece of paper for trunk and one for what you glue the project to as well as glue.
Using the marker color the coffee filters with marker. An option you can do is to dip the filter in water. This will change the look slightly. If you do this though it will add time to your craft. Ours took forever to dry, all night and the rest of the next day.
Whether you dip in water or not the next step will be to glue both the filters (folded into tree shapes) onto the stem and paper you are using for the background.
The final step is to add your decorations to the tree. We used some jewel stickers we had lying around but you can use pom poms, other stickers or whatever else you decide to use.
My girls liked this activity, but grew impatient waiting for it to dry. I think dipping it into water added an extra step that wasn’t necessary, but you live and learn.
Have fun and experiment!
