Sticky Note Christmas Tree

    Sticky Note Christmas Tree

    A full-size Christmas tree appears on a door overnight, built from rows of green sticky notes, with a yellow star on top and the elf sitting on the door frame above it.

    Instructions

    1. Pick a door or a smooth wall at kid height.
    2. Start at the bottom with a row of 7 or 8 green notes side by side. Build each row above with one fewer note, overlapping a little, until one note is left at the top.
    3. Add a trunk with two notes of another color.
    4. Cut a star from a yellow note and stick it on top.
    5. Leave a stack of other colors and a marker so the kids can draw ornaments and add them.
    6. Sit the elf on the door frame or a nearby shelf as if he just placed the star.

    Tip: When the tree comes down, peel each note slowly sideways so the paint stays put.
