Decorating prelit Christmas trees is one of the activities that the entire family can get in on! While many parents often decorate the tree without their kids, this can be a great way to make memories that these kids will remember forever. Of course, how much your kids can help really depend upon their age. So, for those who want their kids to help decorate their prelit Christmas trees, we have a few tips that is going to make this go a bit smoothly and make it fun!
Get Your Kids Excited with a Pre-Decorating Planning Session
1. Get some ornaments that are kid friendly for those who have smaller children. These are going to be lightweight, often plastic and easy to handle. Then allow these kids to hang them on the lower branches. While your tree may look a little unbalanced, you are going to find that the kids will love it!
2. Let the kids pick out special ornaments every year to hang on the tree. Many parents do this anyways, as a sort of tradition that they keep and hand down to the generations throughout the year. Let the kids pick these out and hang them where they want to hang it.
3. For older kids, they can help with a lot more of the décor. Since you already have the lights strung on prelit Christmas trees, then this is one thing that you do not have to worry about. You can give older kids even more options for how they help.
4. Let the kids do the topper. This is a great tradition to start, as it is going to be something that you can always do. While you have little ones, you may have to lift them up to let them put on the top. And if you have more than one kid, maybe consider more than one tree so that everyone can top the tree!
