Tips:
For the youngest, precut the tree and just let them decorate. You could add a photograph to the tree to make it a photo ornament.
Try making round, oblong or other shapes for ornaments and using different colors of fun foam. You could use construction paper, but we've found the fun foam holds up better from year to year.
