Em ambiente de aula, os alunos juntamente com a professora realizaram a atividade recorrendo a moldes de anjos, sinos, estrelas, flocos de neve entre outros símbolos desta época festiva. Vários alunos colocaram as decorações em duas árvores erguidas com ramos e folhas de eucalipto, expostas no bloco B da escola. Ao longo da realização deste projeto, bem como depois de concluído, a professora fez um registo fotográfico do mesmo.

A participação desta escola neste concurso, teve como objetivo incentivar os jovens para a importância da reciclagem e proteção do ambiente, assim como competir pelo prémio de 250 euros (atribuído às 6 escolas vencedoras) para tornar a escola mais sustentável.

Why buy a tree when you can make your own? These colorful cardboard Christmas trees are a fun way to recycle cardboard and brighten up with kid-made crafty ornaments embellished with your favorite art supplies.

This project is a wonderful collaborative art project for kids and adults to make together with brilliant results. Show off your table top trees as stunning centerpieces for your holidays, or place them around the kids' room to encourage a handmade Christmas.

Colorful Cardboard Christmas Trees and Ornaments - Materials:

Trees:

2 large sheets of cardboard

1 long ruler

1 sharp utility knife

1 cutting board or a cardboard surface to cut on

2-3 cans of white spray paint (increase or decrease depending on the size and

number of trees you are making)

Ornaments:

heavy weight white paper

cardboard scraps in varied thicknesses

assorted craft and scrap book paper

chalk markers

craft paint + brushes

scissors

tempera paint sticks

washi tape - patterned and metallic

sticky dots
TREES
1. Draw a Christmas tree on a large piece of cardboard. We started with a geometric shape using a ruler to draw an equilateral triangle and parallel lines to add each additional tier of branches.

2. If you like the triangle tree lines you made with your ruler you can skip this step. We softened the angled lines and made curves on the tips of our tree branches.

3. Cut out your tree shape with a SHARP utility knife (adults only step). If you don't have a cutting mat place an extra layer or two of cardboard under the tree that you are cutting, and work on a hard surface. Once you have made your first tree shape you can use this as a template for your next tree shapes.

4. Trace your tree on another large piece of cardboard and follow the above steps to safely cut out a second tree. You should now have two identical cardboard Christmas tree shapes.

5. Measure the trees from top to bottom. Mark the vertical center point on both trees.

6. Measure the thickness of your cardboard. Use this dimension and a ruler to draw a rectangle in the top half of one tree (top to center) and the bottom half of the other (bottom to center).

7. Cut out the rectangles that you have drawn. One tree will have a notch cut in the top half and the other tree will have a notch cut in the bottom half so that they form an interlocking, three-dimensional tree when attached.

8. Fit the two trees together and make any necessary adjustments to your notches. We had to cut one of ours slightly deeper so that the top of both trees lined up.

9. Put down a drop cloth, either outdoors or in a well-ventilated space indoors, and spray paint the trees the color of your choice. We put down a drop cloth in our front yard and sprayed outside. You will need to put several coats on both sides of your trees to fully coat the cardboard color. Most spray cans suggest 24 hours of drying time. We used spray paint to cut down on time and to give the trees a smooth, uniform, surface but you could also paint your trees with acrylic or tempera paint.

ORNAMENTS

1. Select 3-5 ornament shapes. If you aren't confident in your drawing skills you can search "Christmas ornament templates" on your computer and you will find a lot to choose from.

2. Draw or trace your shapes on thick white paper and cut them out. Now you have created reusable templates.

3. Trace your ornament shapes on cardboard, bristol paper, and assorted craft papers to achieve variety and texture.

4. Choose a color palette for your decorations. Are you going traditional? bright? natural? We veered from the traditional and chose a palette of: white, gold, fuchsia, peach, turquoise, sage, and slate blue. Gold is one of those colors that comes in a zillion varieties. We wanted a bright gold versus a "dirty" gold. I highly recommend investing in a tube of Golden acrylic paint in Iridescent Gold, it's so pretty.

5. Lay out all of your paint trays, your chalk markers, your tempera sticks, and washi tape and have fun decorating!

6. Once your ornaments have dried it is time to decorate your tree! We love the ease of glue dots but you could use a glue gun or double-sided sticky tape to fasten your ornaments to your tree branches.

7. Don't forget to add your star topper or your pom pom garland for a finishing touch.

*If you really want to take your tree to the next level, add a strand of mini twinkle lights!

Here are our shiny little Christmas tree ornaments made using aluminum foil!

These days, we are reading Curious George books. This series of books tells the story of a monkey called George who is very curious and his adventures with the Man with the Yellow Hat. All the stories are wonderful and never fail to amuse my daughter. She is becoming quite a fan of little George. We are always looking out for Curious George books on every library visit. So far we have read Curious George goes camping, Curious George learns the alphabet, Curious George Flies a Kite, Curious George Librarian for a Day, Curious George Dance Party, and Curious George in the Snow.

Just in time for Christmas, we found this lovely book "Merry Christmas Curious George". It's a story about how excited and curious George helps the man with the yellow hat pick out the holiday tree and then does a fun decoration with the kids at Tree Decorating Party in the hospital.

Inspired by the book, I asked my daughter - Do you want to have a tree decorating party? Yeah, she said. This gave me an idea to make Christmas tree ornaments for the fun 10 days of Kid-Made Christmas series we are participating in. To add extra fun, we used aluminum foil for making these trees.

HOW TO MAKE CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENTS?

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut out the required number of triangular tree shape from an empty cereal box.

2. Wrap them nicely with aluminum foil.

3. Now, It's time to decorate the trees. Start by making a zigzag garland with colorful washi tape.

4. You can decorate the tree with sequins, buttons, beads, pom-pom and a lot more. My daughter first applied the glue making these white dots on the tree and then put the sequins and other decorative materials on the dots.

5. Glue/Tape a small craft stick and ribbon to the back of the tree.

And the beautiful ornaments are ready to adorn the Christmas tree! Happy Crafting and A Very Monkey Christmas everyone! :)
