Tin Can Christmas Tree Activity

by Ana Dziengel on December 15, 2012

I have to admit this is my favorite Christmas DIY post yet. Not only did I have fun creating it but my daughter actually loved doing the activity!

This idea was inspired by the tin can robot idea that floated around the craft circuit a few years ago, originally published in Parents Magazine I believe….only this involves a Christmas twist! For the full tutorial be sure to visit Holidays Homemade. Here’s a teaser!

I love this activity because it’s something the kids can do over and over again and you can even save for next year!

Enjoy!
