SUMMER TREE

Summer tree will be a traditional activity at home. We started making summer tree last year. It is like a Christmas tree but we used a tall ornamental plant and we hanged DIY drawn ornaments such as sun, fruits, and anything that has something to do with summer. Here's a picture of our summer tree this year:

MATERIALS:

An ornamental plant

For the ornaments:

Fabrics of different color (can be leftover ones)

Transparent folder

Glue

Ribbon

Marker

PROCEDURE for making the ornaments:

1. Using your marker, you need first to draw any summer-y objects on the fabric. You can also put words on it or the names of your family members. I wrote some verbs so my little girl will get to know some English words. She's already fluent with our native dialect Ilocano and national language Filipino because these were the medium of instruction in her school. She can speak a little English mixed with the two dialects.

2. Glue a ribbon on the transparent folder. This will serve as the string.

2. Paste the object that you have drawn then cut according to its shape.

Other ornaments I made:

The star was supposed to be a starfish but my daughter insisted that the star in the sky. So I wrote twinkle instead of swim.

Kite and Bird

Cloud and Watermelon

Flower and Leaf

Valentine is over but my little girl wants to include "Love". Oh, the lips was my idea, LOL. =D
