Are you looking for a simple Christmas decoration to make with your preschoolers? Every year, I love to have my students make an ornament for their tree. This Pom Pom Christmas Tree Ornament is always a hit! This holiday craft is easy to make with a classroom full of children, and it’s a keepsake their families love.
How To Make A Pom Pom Christmas Tree Ornament:
Supplies:
- Craft Sticks
- Green Paint
- Green Pom Poms
- Yellow Pom Pom
- Glue
- Ribbon or Yarn
- Brown Card Stock
- Scissors
One of my favorite things about this Christmas craft is that it is inexpensive to make. If you don’t already have the supplies in your classroom, you can find everything you need at the Dollar Store.
Directions:
To begin making this Christmas ornament, glue the ends of the craft sticks together to form a triangle. I like to use green craft sticks or paint the natural ones with green paint so if the pom poms don’t cover the entire triangle, it still looks like a tree.
After the glue dries, glue one yellow pom pom at one of the triangle points for the star.
Next, glue green pom poms around the rest of the triangle.
After the glue dries, cut a ribbon or piece of yarn that is about five inches long. Next, fold the ribbon over to form a loop and glue the end on the back of the craft sticks.
Finally, cut a small rectangle out of the brown card stock and glue it to the bottom of the triangle for the tree trunk.
You can also cut a triangle out of a piece of green card stock and glue it to the back of the triangle. Your students can add their picture, sequins, foam stickers, and other decorations.
This Pom Pom Christmas Tree Ornament is a fun and simple gift that your students can make their families this holiday season.

Hi Katie! I’ve been following your blog for a while now and I’ve started my own now that I have my own preschool class! I wanted you to know that I have put a link to this activity in one of my blog posts where we use pom poms for a fine motor activity! 🙂 http://www.playlandprek.com/2017/12/child-led-play-cotton-balls-and-pom-poms/

I never knew if we could use pom pom this way. My kids wanted to make DIY xmas tree for the living room, I did not know what kind of supplied could I get for that. I guess these pom pom would be suitable for the project, I might buy these for them, they will love it. thanks for sharing.
