Who says Christmas has to wait till December? The kids in my classroom have been decorating Gingerbread Houses all summer! I have a feeling they'll enjoy decorating these trees just as much. Librarians, don't discount these--I picture them at a table in your children's section after a story time about winter--alongside a felt board of dreidels, menorahs and gelt perhaps! (Coming soon to a blog near you...)
With all the different shapes and colors, there's just so much patterning, counting and sorting to be done!
I put my CuttleBug to good use with the decorations--I've been using wool blend felt, and even the thinnest dies cut right through it with no problem. This was great news--I was so disappointed that the thin dies wouldn't cut acrylic felt. One more reason to switch to wool blend. It is a bit more expensive, but I really love the quality and the colors are amazing.
This set is sold out in my shop, but lots of other holiday sets are available!
