Why We Love It

If you’re looking for an easy, festive way to keep little ones entertained during the holidays, a felt Christmas tree for toddlers is a total game-changer. I bought mine straight from Amazon because I was feeling a little lazy and short on time, but after seeing how much fun my kids had, I have no regrets.

The tree arrived with brightly colored felt ornaments, a little wrinkled, but a quick press with the iron fixed it right up. The best part? My kids felt like they were decorating their own little piece of the house, while I could finally enjoy decorating the rest of the house.

Where to Buy

Want the easiest solution? Here’s the exact felt Christmas tree I bought on Amazon. It shipped quickly, entertained my little ones for hours.

How to Make

If you want a crafty weekend project, making your own felt tree is easy:

Invite your kids to help design and cut ornaments for a truly custom project. Make as many extra decorations as you want or change them up throughout the season!

Crafting Tips

  • Iron out wrinkles using a low setting and a cloth between the iron and the felt

  • Hot glue Velcro dots on ornaments for easy swapping and sticking

  • Pre-cut stars, snowflakes, gingerbread people and let kids decorate with fabric pens and stick-on gems

DIY Ornament Ideas

  • Classic shapes like stars, candy canes, ornaments, presents or stockings work well

  • Personalized ornaments with fabric pens, gems, puffy paint or glitter glue

  • Create “Interactive” ornaments and include buttons to secure or tiny pockets with layered felt

The Verdict

Whether you buy it (no shame!) or craft your own, a felt Christmas tree is a wonderfully fun, mess-free way for toddlers to get in the holiday spirit. It’s affordable, reusable and lets your kids decorate “their” tree while you deck the halls your way.
