Christmas Tree on a Dime

Children’s Tree

By gathering elements that your children play with or use every day, you can tailor a tree to a child's tastes.

Colorful socks and mittens make creative ornaments. Children's pinwheels come in large quantities at a party-supply source. Threaded through an ornament hanger, they have big impact on the tree. Cookie cutters press into service as ornaments, and a Santa hat tops the whole thing off. A colorful throw serves as a tree skirt.
