This very tactile Christmas craft project shows you how to make and decorate a garden twig tree that can be decorated.
Start by selectin your twigs, ours was drilled and glued into a large log from gran-dads yard, but you could use a plant pot filled with rock, soil or plaster of paris Spray paint your twigs in a festive color or for a natural look leave them plain.
Decorate your tree with any items you child wants to hang, drape and twist around the tree. We used bangles, bows, pom poms threded on lengths of wire and hooked onto the tree. She added stickers and glitter over the holiday weeks.

Way cool--you could also make it a "nature only" tree and have your little one fashion ornaments/decorations only with things they find out in nature!
