Christmas Tree Card and Present Card Craft

You can choose between the Christmas tree card or the present card. Kids can decorate the Christmas tree card if they’d like by adding strings of lights, sequins, pom poms or even their fingerprints. They can also write a special message inside or include a Christmas poem.

To make things easy you can use our free printable template to trace around cardstock for the card design.

Directions to Make a Christmas Tree and Present Card

Christmas Tree Card

Glue on two googly eyes, a red pom pom for the nose and the gold star. Glue the brown stump to the inside of the front of the card.

3. Draw on a smile with a black sharpie or marker.

4. Write a message inside your card.

Present Card

Cut out the top part of the present on red glitter paper and glue to the top of the card.

Add a red ribbon bow on top.

2. Glue on 2 googly eyes.
