You may download and print our step-by-step drawing tutorial for kids to follow or help them with the written instructions below.

Step 1

Draw a triangle on a white construction paper using ruler and black marker or pencil.

Step 2

Draw 5 rectangles horizontally under the triangle. You can also draw more rectangles if you wish to make the tree even bigger. The rectangles should be drawn in the increasing order of length.

Now draw a vertical rectangle underneath the horizontal rectangles to make the Christmas tree trunk.

Step 3

Draw small circles on the tree to make the Christmas lights. Start with one circle on the triangle, 2 circles on the next rectangle, 3 circles on the next rectangle and so on. We used a paper straw to draw the circle shapes. You can also free draw them. They don’t have to be perfect.

Draw two square shapes on either side of the Christmas tree to make the Christmas presents.
