How easy and fun is it!
How to Create an Amazing Christmas Wreath
1st– First, fold a piece of 9X12 green construction paper in half…hot dog fold in other words, down vertical middle.
2nd-Secondly, fold it again…hot dog style.
3rd-Thirdly, open it half way. It should now be folded in half with folded edge pointed towards the belly. The open edge is away from the body, and there is a folded line running horizontally across the paper.
4th– Next, cut straight lines, evenly from the folded paper edge to the folded middle line. Be sure to cut right to the middle line! “Touch the middle line!” is what I always say to help the kiddos.
5th– Keep cutting equal size lines! Be sure to emphasize thumb up, elbow in!
6th-Keep going until the end! 
7th– Next, open paper entirely.
8th-Next, fold 2 outer edges to touch in the middle.
The Difficult Part of the Craft
9th-Fold into a triangular prism. Of course, it’s on a great in action math lesson.
10th– At this point, staple edges together!
11th-Finally, decorate. The kiddos love to cut and glitter red bows. Of course glitter is the best part!!
