Can you believe that Christmas is right around the corner?
What this means in our house is that we’re busy already creating beautiful, fun, and festive crafts.
The holiday season is a time for family, joy, and blessings and we take every chance we can to slow down and enjoy being in the moment.
This Pine Cone Christmas Tree is one of the easiest and cutest holiday craft you’ll ever make.
If you’re looking for a super simple but fun craft that will appeal to a wide variety of ages, this Pine Cone Christmas Tree is calling your name.
And if you have pinecones in your yard or neighborhood, you can literally have a fun day picking them up to use for decorations later!
Pinecones are a great and simple decoration that really showcase the fact that winter has arrived.
With the ease of this holiday craft, my hope is that you and your children will have fun sitting down and creating these trees together.
Children and adults can create this craft with ease, making beautiful handmade holiday decorations for your home. (They also make really cute homemade Christmas gifts as well!)
Let your little ones work on their fine motor skills as they put together the supplies to create an adorable Christmas tree!
How long does this pine cone Christmas tree craft take to make?
Not long at all. It’s actually a super simple process that results in a fun decoration in about 10 minutes.
However, since most times our children are learning the same time that they’re creating, I always let our children take as long as they want when they’re crafting.
This way they’ll really be creating with their senses and using their imagination as well.
Because let’s all be honest about the fact that even though there might be a certain way to put together these pine cone trees, it’s also a craft that imagination can be easily used with as well.
Do you need to let your pine cones dry out before using them?
If you literally pick up pinecones from outside rather than buying at the store, then you’re going to want to make certain that they’re dried out before crafting with them.
This is easy to do as you just have to wait it out but it’s an important step so that they are easier to paint as well.
Or you can just buy store-bought already dried pine cones.
