Position Tree Craft Kit
Ignite the festive spirit in your classroom with our Position Tree Craft Kit! Designed to blend creativity with educational standards, this craft kit not only celebrates the season but also instills essential spatial concepts in young minds.
What's Included:
Detailed Instructions: A comprehensive guide detailing the sizes for cutting the colored paper strips needed to assemble the Position Tree. Each color corresponds to a specific length, ensuring the creation of a beautifully proportioned Christmas tree.
Position Tree Directions: Concise, easy-to-follow instructions that incorporate position words into each step of the craft. These are provided four to a page, perfect for handing out to individual students or pairs to encourage cooperative learning.
Star Cutouts: No Christmas tree is complete without a star atop, and we’ve provided sheets of stars with 16 on a page. Whether you choose to punch them out or practice their scissor skills, these stars will shine brightly atop their paper trees.
About the Resource:
This hands-on craft activity is an excellent way to teach and reinforce the understanding of position words. Students will follow along with the provided directions, gluing colored rectangles onto a base page to create a Christmas tree while engaging with terms such as "above," "below," "middle," and "bottom." The kit is designed for easy classroom implementation and aligns with Preschool Standards for teaching spatial concepts.
