The children crumple breakfast paper to give it an interesting texture and then gently smooth it out. Using a wax crayon held on its side, they draw green marks on the paper. From the prepared sheet, using a template, they trace two large Christmas trees and cut them out. The edges of one tree are covered with craft glue, leaving the bottom without glue. After the glue has dried, they fill the inside of the tree with pieces of paper. The end of a stick is wrapped with a small ball of paper and placed inside so that the stick sticks out. Then the tree is completely sealed. A red bow is tied around the trunk, and the tree is decorated with patterns made using glitter glue. The finished Christmas tree is placed on a bottle cap filled with modeling clay.
