Easiest Ever Christmas Activity for Kids: Build a Christmas Tree in the Window!

I’m always on the hunt for a fun Christmas activity.

Let’s face it. This time of year is *super* busy.

Some days?

You just need a break from it all to sip your coffee in peace while the kids have something fun to do.

I get you, Momma.

That’s while I’m super excited to share this activity with you:

It takes minutes to set up with little to no prep.
It’s perfect for toddlers to younger elementary school.
AND, it’s ALWAYS a huge hit with kids.

All you need is some tape, water, and this fun craft supply…

I set up this Christmas activity for my kids while they napped.

By the time my preschooler woke up, she was ready to line her tree with our secret craft supply.

Are you ready for it??

The secret supply is: FOAM SHEETS!

Did you know that foam sheets will stick to the windows and most bathtubs with just a little water added to the back? Kids go crazy for this material.

And, the best part?

You can take the foam pieces down and put them back up again with a little more water. That means that kids can do this over and over and over again!

I promise you. They’re going to want to!

How to Set Up this Christmas Activity

I started by making a large triangle with painter’s tape. I eyeballed the triangle, but you could draw a triangle with a dry erase marker first if it would help.
Make the rectangle for the base of the tree.
Cut out circles from your foam sheets as the ornaments.
Put out a cup of water with a paint brush.
Kids can paint the foam with water and it will stick to the window.
Kids can pull them down and restick them over and over and over!

Note :: I first saw this genius idea from Fun at Home with Kids and thought it was pure genius. A big thanks to Asia for always inspiring us to be more creative with our kids!
