Christmas Tissue Paper Wreath

This is one of the most familiar Christmas wreaths for those with toddlers and preschoolers. We did this with each one of our children at Christmas when they were little. They were so proud of their finished product!

Materials you will need are a paper plate, glue, scissors, 1 to 2 inch squares of tissue paper in Christmas colors (greens and red) and a 12 inch length of ribbon.

Directions:

Cut the the tissue paper into 1 to 2 inch squares. This can be done by adults prior to crafting.

Cut the center out of the paper plate to leave a round "donut" shape. This will form the base of the wreath. Again, this can be done prior to craft time.

Scrunch the pieces of tissue paper into balls (not tight though). We filled in the whole circle with green and then went back and added in the red for the holly berries. You can do this on the end of a pencil to make more of a flower shape or you can just make a ball with your fingers.

Glue around the paper plate to make the wreath.

Tie a bow with the length of ribbon and glue it to the top of the wreath. Or you can cut out a red bow from construction paper and glue it on.
