To make this speech therapy Christmas craft tree, you will need the following supplies:
To make your 3D Christmas tree craft, you must fold each tree in half with the ornament side touching each other. Then, you will add glue to one half of the Christmas tree and glue that to another half of a different tree. Once all sides of your tree are glued together, your Christmas tree craft can stand up independently.
When you print out the templates, you can either pre-cut the trees or have students do it.
In the first session, your students can practice their speech and language targets with the printouts, which they can cover with magnetic chips or erasers on the stimulus items.
Then, in the next session, have students color or use dot markers with their trees. As each child is coloring, you can work on their goals.
After everyone is finished coloring, you can help students assemble their crafts.
Keep your Christmas speech therapy craft trees in your room for warm-up practice or progress monitoring. Plus, you can send it home as speech homework for students to use for practice until Christmas!
Make a speech therapy Christmas bulletin board in the hallway or your room, by gluing the Christmas tree crafts to colorful construction paper and hanging them up. By making a bulletin board, you can have students practice as they enter your room or when they head back to class as an exit activity.
Or, you can punch a hole at the top of the tree and tie string or ribbon to make an ornament that they can hang on their tree at home.
With the Christmas tree language templates, there are mini homework directions to send home to help parents know how to use the stimulus items at home.
Using themed crafts can be a great way to switch things up in your mixed groups when you need a break from worksheets and flashcards.
And themed crafts can help you plan literacy-based lessons for small groups and co-teaching sessions. The Themed Therapy SLP membership provides low-prep-themed crafts and visual supports for those crafts. You can also check out these blog posts for more ideas:
