Kids enjoy decorating a paper tree the way their family decorates the real one. Ask what goes on your tree at home and which ornament is their favorite. Realistic colors are dark green for the needles, brown for the trunk and gold for the star, but ornaments can be any color. These pages fit the weeks after Thanksgiving, when many families put up their trees.
Color the green branches first, then add bright ornaments on top with markers so they pop. Glitter glue or small stickers on the ornaments turn a finished page into a sparkly decoration.
