Coffee Filter Jewelled Trees for Kids to Make

Last updated on April 28, 2019 Can you believe Christmas is less than 2 weeks away?! Even though our weather is anything but Christmassy (it’s like a cool summer day out there today which is COMPLETELY unheard of for Canada), we’ve been crafting up a Christmas storm here in my home daycare. Recently we made these coffee filter, jewelled trees for the kids to take home and hang on the Christmas tree. The hooligans loved dying the coffee filters. The process is so fun and a wonderful way for children to observe water absorption and colour blending. Pop on over to CBC Parents to see how to make these lovely ornaments at home with your kids!
