Assembly Tree (TR-05)

For (With Whom)

Anyone

Why

We made this because we wanted a tree that could be decorated easily during an activity at Christmas time. We also want to share the activity and enjoy it as a group, since it is a work activity for a seasonal event.

How

Compared with making a piece from cardboard, it is highly reproducible with few failures, and anyone can easily reach completion. When time is limited it can be done as a single activity, and it can also be divided into stages. For children, when it is hard to keep up concentration, the approximate production time is easy to grasp, which makes planning easier.

Outcome

Children felt a sense of achievement from having made it themselves, and through making things they became able to concentrate on tabletop activities.
