In my opinion, Christmas trees are one of the most magical aspects of the holiday season.

These Christmas Tree Activities for Tots and Preschoolers with Free Printables are sure to be a hit with the little ones.

I love how they focus on the tree itself as well as ornaments to help develop math, botany, and practical life skills.

Christmas themed activities are so much fun!

Christmas Tree Activities for Tots and Preschoolers with Free Printables

Here's what Sunshine's been working on!

Christmas Tree Number Match Up

Sunshine thoroughly enjoys counting down the days until Christmas using her Melissa and Doug Countdown to Christmas Wooden Advent Calendar, but she's constantly wanting to play with it. This activity was created to encourage just that.

Sunshine is working on her numbers, learning their names and how to identify them.

In this activity she pulls a card from the pile and identifies the number. Once she has done this she grabs an ornament and places it on the matching number on the tree. She continues this until all of the numbers are covered by ornaments.

Christmas Tree Addition

Sunshine enjoys addition. She finds it challenging and very entertaining. In this activity she is adding felt Christmas tree table scatter that I found at our local dollar store.

Once she has solved the equation she uses the red glass beads to mark the answer on the clip cards.

Christmas Tree Tong Activity

Sunshine is working hard to improve her hand-eye coordination. This tonging activity has been very beneficial. She picks up one of the foam balls with the tongs and transfers it into one of the Christmas tree ice cube slots.

Christmas Botany Match Up

I saved my favorite activity for last. It's not secret that Sunshine loves botany. Why not create a Christmas themed botany activity just for her?

This match up activity includes pictures of the Christmas plants from far away, and then pictures of the plants up close. Sunshine loves to match them and comment on all of their names.

There are so many fabulous ways to use Christmas trees in learning activities during the holiday season.

They are versatile and are common to both spiritual and secular celebrations. Best of all they are living things and encourage so many sensory experiences.
