Tree and Wreath Cardboard Craft

Cut the pieces below out of cardboard.  It works best if you can find a piece
with no writing.  Look at the cardboard.  Inside, between the top and back
layers are little tunnels.  Make sure that the inside tunnels in the cardboard run the direction of the arrows.  Have the kids paint the pieces,
and let them dry.  Run a pipe cleaner through the tunnels of the cardboard pieces as shown.  Turn the bottom piece of the pipe cleaner over
so that the pieces stay on.  Turn the top piece and bend it to make a hanger.  Have the children decorate the ornament with sequins or small pompoms.  The tree activity is great for math. 
Talk about sizing and shapes: trapezoids, triangles and squares. 
The tree shown is not decorated yet.
