The Creatistics Stained Glass Trees & Cellophane kit is a vibrant and festive classroom activity that allows children to create stunning stained-glass style Christmas trees. The pack contains 40 black card tree cut-outs (2 per tree), 100 cellophane sheets in 5 colours—red, yellow, green, blue and orange—and 20 red ribbons for hanging. By layering and gluing coloured cellophane between two tree pieces, children can craft a decorative ornament that comes to life when placed in a window where sunlight can shine through. This creative hands-on activity not only teaches children about light and colour but also encourages fine motor skill development, design thinking and festive cheer.
