Things You'll Need:
- 1 extra Christmas tree
-
Step 1
Purchase a second Christmas tree. If space is a concern, an artificial, miniature tree placed on a table will provide a kid's tree you can use year after year.
-
Step 2
Discuss the yearly theme with your children. Changing the theme each year allows the new interests of your children to be reflected in the tree's design.
-
Step 3
Allow kids to use their imaginations when decorating the tree. A favorite toy can be tucked amidst the tree's branches to create an ornament and a tree skirt can be created using a favorite pair of pajamas. Imagination is the key to successful design.
-
Step 4
Create homemade ornaments to add to the kid's tree. The Internet contains multiple sites containing Christmas craft ideas.
-
Step 5
Remind Santa that the kid's have designed their own tree. Place a gift for each child under the kids' Christmas tree.
-
Step 6
Save one special ornament from the kid's tree to add to the family tree each year. The ornament will remind your family of Christmas past.
-
Step 7
Donate the remainder of the ornaments to charity. Help another family design a children's Christmas tree while cleaning the slate for next year's new design.
