O christmas tree O christmas tree

Decorating your Christmas tree is the topic for this post. My friend has a two year old and was wondering if she should even decorate her Christmas tree, I told she should, all she had however where breakables that she did not want to put on the tree. So I did some suggesting on what she could use around the house to decorate her tree. Here are some suggestions:

***Take some flowers of any type and put them on the tree. Stick then into the tree, then if they fall they will not break.
***Try putting different kinds of candy by stringing them as garland.
Make a fabric garland for added color or paper towel rolls that are painted different colors and cut them to make and string garland, or even construction paper garland. Use old cloths that are lying around or need to be sent to Goodwill, sting them onto a rope to make it rustic.
****Make cardboard ornaments and let the little guy decorate some of them. Who cares what they look like, they helped make them. Then later on when they get older they will really appreciate them. Use old cereal boxes that you have lying around. Make different shapes paint them or cover them with decorative scrapbook paper, using mod podge of course.
***Pine cones, good for ornaments and garland, put some glitter on them to add sparkle.
***Use scraps of wood for ornaments.
***Get the kids involved look at this fun site.

Hope these are some fun ideas for you to look at. Thanks for stopping by!
