I've done The Littlest Christmas Tree (available on MusicK8.com) three times in my school career. It is the most adorable musical for young children. My christmas tree costumes are very simple, but cute. I still use them with kinders every year when we sing "O Christmas Tree" in music class. They love to dress up!

My trees are simply made of green poster board. They cover a kinder from neck to knees and are decorated with glitter, snow (white oil paint sticks), and paper ornaments attached with a hot glue gun. The students wear headbands with a glittery star attached (which are ornaments) and garland as a necklace.
