You can make a mini Christmas tree out of the branches by placing them together in a vase. Paint the branches in white or silver color and secure them together with a florist's Styrofoam block. Cut out bells from golden paper and stick them firmly to the leaves.
You can also ask your kids to draw stars on a silver paper, cut them out neatly and stick them to the tree with glue. For the snow you can use cotton balls.

Another excellent and elegant Christmas decoration is to make a manger depicting the story of Christ's birth. Make a frame similar to a cave with the help of sticks, tying them securely with twine. Take many sheets of brown colored paper and spray them with dark blue paint.
