Christmas With Little Hands - Felt Tree

Christmas with curious little hands around looks a little different than Christmases past and I am finding that I love it! I went with a less fussy tree this year to limit the temptation for Elise and I am finding the less cluttered look and the family ornaments to be a welcome change.

In addition, inspired by Pinterest (pretty sure the Rev just rolled his eyes, as he always does when I mention pinning...), we have a felt tree that is all for Elise. She can touch it and rearrange the ornaments as much as she wants. She is really loving it. It started with a $10 kit from Target that included the tree, a tree skirt, and punch out ornaments. Once I discarded the ornaments that were too small for E, it was a little slim, so I purchased some felt and made some additional jazzed up with puffy paint ornaments. As a side note, if you decide to use a felt tree and your child loves it so much that they take an ornament into the bathtub with them, just know that felt dries very quickly....
