Crayon Tree Party

We celebrated the holiday with an afternoon of fun at the Tredyffrin Public Library. Children ages 4-6 joined us for a story, coloring pages, and snacks. All children made their very own crayon tree to take home. We started with a paper towel roll that was painted green, decorated with glitter and had 8 holes punched in it. Each child was given a new 8 pack of crayons. The crayons were inserted into the holes to make the tree.

Now the fun really started when everyone began to decorate their trees with stickers, feathers, pipe cleaners, ribbon, and much more.

*Librarians Note: This was a labor intensive craft regarding preperation. But well worth the preperation. I painted all paper towel tubes, added the glitter and punched all of the holes. I also sprayed each tube with a clear gloss spray to help the glitter to stick.
