We made cut and glue holiday trees today and they turned out really cute!! This project was also wonderful for fine motor and scissor skills. We used red construction paper as our background and cut six rectangle shapes out of green construction paper.
We made each rectangle about 3/4 of an inch smaller than the one before it and the children arranged them from smallest to biggest on the background paper.
They cut a small square out of brown construction paper and glue it on to the bottom of the background paper. They then glued on each of the green rectangles (largest at the bottom ... smallest at the top). The last piece to cut was a small yellow circle which was then glue at the top of the tree.
Once all of the pieces were glued on the children applied glue drops on to the green rectangles and pressed sequins on. The picture above shows a lot of sequins but children can choose to put on the amount that they want.
