Popcicle Christmas Tree

I realize that Christmas is almost a month behind us now, but as I am very behind on posting, maybe you won't mind a post about another Christmas activity I did with Sophie.  :) 

I ran across the idea on Pinterest (as I always seem to do) HERE.  We did pretty much exactly as she said.  I cut the sticks, then let Sophie finger-paint them, with momma's help, one morning.  We let them dry all morning then during her nap I hot glued them together.  Then, that afternoon I let her decorate with some snowflake and star stickers.  Some were a little big for the sticks, but she didn't mind and it hasn't seemed to cause any problems.  She enjoyed it!  I wrote on the back her name and the year we did it.  Here's some pictures of her making it.

Painting the sticks.  Pardon my look.  I wasn't planning on pictures of this but Brandon showed up with the camera.

Decorating with stickers

See the face of concentration?  :)
