Appropriate age group(s):
Preschool and Younger
Elementary School

Estimated time to make this decoration:
1 Hour

Materials:
Foamies, or other craft foam, in various colors
School glue
Glitter glue or glitter
Scissors
Hole punch
Cookie cutters in holiday shapes (tree, star, candy cane, etc.)
Pencil
Sequins (optional)
Metallic thread (for hangers)

Instructions:
Using cookie cutters as patterns, trace desired shapes onto sheets of craft foam. Cut out. Glue on bits of craft foam, glitter, sequins, etc.

For example, cut Christmas tree shapes from green foamies. Using hole punch, make circles from other colors of foamies for "ornaments". Decorate the tree by gluing on foam ornaments, sequins, and beads. Top it all off with a sequin star.

For stars, cut a star shape from white or yellow foamies. Decorate with glitter glue.

Finish off your ornament by gluing on a string hanger.
