Whether you are a parent, teacher, or homeschooler thisChristmas scienceis perfect for aChristmas activityfor kids!
Supplies:
A quick note about safety.
Either way it is fun, engaging, and has a good WOW factor!
Start by cutting off 10-12 of copper wire.
Now on one side form a triangular Christmas tree.
Ours were about 1 3/4 in height.
Use your pliers to carefully turn down the edge.
After it goes straight for 1/2 or so start to make curly cues with your wire.
Cut off any extra copper wire you dont want your project to be any heaver than it needs to.
Stand up your battery on top of the magnets on a table.
How you are going to startfittingyour spinning Christmas tree on the battery.
The bottom end of your spirals needs to come down parallel to the magnets.
This is the hardest part of the project, but only took us about 10 minutes of tweaking.
Depending on how balanced your project is it might turn slowly or spin really quickly.
My kids were amazed by how fast it spined.
Use green crepe paper and a hot glue gun to cover the triangle part at the top.
Now its time to decorate your green Christmas tree project!
it’s possible for you to use whatever you have on hand.
We tried fusion beads, mini pompoms, and confetti.
They all worked great and did not make the project to heavy.
I think the fusion beads were my favorite, but again they all work.
Carefully use a hot glue gun to attach your ornament decorations.
Ready…. it is time to put the project back on the battery and watch thespinning Christmas tree!
My kids wanted to play with them again and again for hours and days and weeks!
