Child's Christmas Tree

CHILD'S CHRISTMAS TREE
Here it is!!! Haylie's Christmas Tree!!!!

My child wanted an "ABC" tree, as in the WHOLE alphabet. My child is abc obsessed and spelling is one of her favorite things! Her wooden alphabet puzzles get played with more than dolls. She even spelled the word "education" at pre-k one day and had all of her teachers going ecstatic because that doesn't happen all that often at that age. My little smarty pants! She definitely doesn't get her spelling talent from me that's for sure lol. I'm sure in this paragraph alone I have typos galore!
CHILD'S CHRISTMAS TREE
Only issue with an "ABC" tree was

1. that's freakn 24 letters. Letters run about a dollar a piece so that's a lot of loot for Christmas ornaments for a kids room tree!

And 2. there is no way her little white tree could even hold 24 letters. You wouldn't even see any tree!!! My OCD self gets anxiety even thinking of the big pile of letters trying to hang from
​the thing!

CHILD'S CHRISTMAS TREE
Thats when we came up with the Haylie Tree! Her name is letters after all so it was a win with the four year old! She was getting letters on a tree & she couldn't have been more excited about it. This mama was happy this worked out because 6 letters was a hell of a lot cheaper than 24!
CHILD'S CHRISTMAS TREE
We headed to Michael's to buy wooden letters & we totally lucked out!!! They had black metal letters with burlap "hooks" in the cheapy section! I believe I paid $1.25 a letter & they were pre-made, ready to hang. No crafty skills needed.
CHILD'S CHRISTMAS TREE
The rest of the ornaments are plastic and from the Dollar Tree. I was kind of shocked on how fabulous these ornaments were considering they were $1 for a pack of snowflake, a tube of balls & even the snowflake topper! The flowers and ribbon were in the Dollar Tree craft section!
CHILD'S CHRISTMAS TREE
Now let's see how many times between now and Christmas Haylie decides to take everything off and put it back on. It's her tree so she can do what she wants, plus that's entertainment that gives this mama a "break" here and there. Total win in my book ;-)

What a totally awesome idea. She will so enjoy the fact that it is her own,special tree and the letters make it even more so. It doesn't cost much to make a child feel fantastic and give them so much self-esteem. Great job.

This is super cute and very personable. I would do this if I only had one or two kids but with soon to be 5 there would be a forest in my house lol! Love it nonetheless!

Aw this is such a creative and sweet idea! She could continue to do this for years to come and then even do it for her own children one day. What a special little tree :)

How clever it was to get her to forfeit all other letters except the ones in her name. That's a beautiful tree and a special gesture to your very smart daughter. Kudos to you mom.

I love the idea of Haylie having her own tree. Plus, if she doesn't know how to spell her own name yet... she will.

Holy cow this is a cute idea. If would need 9 letters though for my daughter that I would give this too. Maybe I could just do smaller letters, lol. All of my kids have an initial for theit name but this I super cute!

I love the Haylie tree. :) So cute! And awesome that you found those letters already for Haylie's tree. My littles have their own trees too. My son has LEGO ornaments he made on his and my daughter's is a silver tree with pastel colors ornaments. :)

That is a cute tree. I hope that she enjoys it for years to come. I just put up one tree for our family. I let the kids put the ornaments on it. I need to buy them new ornaments. I wait until after Christmas and stock up for next year.

That's awesome, it's even better when you decided to just put her name instead of the whole alphabet! It feels more special that way, doesn't it!
