Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree Craft
Looking for a simple little craft to do with your kids this week? This Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree Craft is a fun project that you can make with supplies that you probably already have on hand.
I love these types of crafts with my kiddos because no matter what their age, they end result represents their skill level at the time.
Some of my very favorite ornaments have very crooked lines and misspelled words. I just love these types of treasures!
