Of course the answer was yes! I wasn&#8217;t really very prepared but I always like to make things with what&#8217;s laying around. I dug around in our craft drawer and gathered some empty cereal boxes from the recycling bin, we ended up making some simple Christmas tree decorations which I&#8217;ve titled <strong>Cereal Box Christmas Trees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The final result turned out pretty cute, and this project can be adapted for kids of all ages. Small children will enjoy painting and pasting pom poms, while older kids can trace, cut and add lots of glitter. I&#8217;ve included a template to make this project easy for parents too.<\/p>\n<p>Make a whole forest to adorn your mantel piece or use as table decorations for your Christmas meal.<\/p>\n<h2>You will need:<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55177\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/cereal-christmas-tree-supplies.jpg\" alt=\"Kids Recycle Craft: Cereal Box Christmas Tree Decoration with printable template mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"690\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/cereal-christmas-tree-supplies.jpg 690w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/cereal-christmas-tree-supplies-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/cereal-christmas-tree-supplies-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/cereal-christmas-tree-supplies-330x248.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/cereal-christmas-tree-supplies-613x460.jpg 613w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Large cereal box (one box per tree)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/cereal-box-tree-template.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tree Template &#8211; download here<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Acrylic Paint colour of choice<\/li>\n<li>Paintbrushes<\/li>\n<li>Pencil<\/li>\n<li>Scissors<\/li>\n<li>Paste\/Glue<\/li>\n<li>Glitter (optional)<\/li>\n<li>Pom poms or other decorations like sequins<\/li>\n<li>clothes pegs<\/li>\n<li>paper plate or container for paint<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How to make Cereal Box Christmas Tree Decorations<\/h2>\n<p>Open up the cereal boxes and paint the inside (large) panels the colour of your choice.
