Feather Branch Christmas Tree with Circle Ornaments

A tall Christmas tree is built from layers of long, pointed, feather-like branch shapes that fan out from a center line down the trunk. A spiky star with many points sits at the top. Small round circle ornaments hang along the center line and at the tips of the branches, with the widest row of branches at the bottom of the tree. There is no background, no gifts, and no stand, so the page stays clean and open. The branch sections are large enough for crayons and also have some narrow spots for fine tip markers. Try coloring each layer of branches in a different shade of green, then pick two or three bright colors for the ornaments so the pattern repeats from top to bottom. The star would look great in gold or yellow. It's also a nice way to talk about symmetry with kids, since the left and right sides mirror each other.
