Tissue Paper Christmas Tree
'Tis the season to go crazy over Christmas trees. Engage your child with a Christmas craft that will result in a timeless, brightly-colored tissue paper tree. This project is a great way to spruce up a blank wall during the holiday season, or it can be used on the cover of a Christmas card.
