3D Shapes Christmas Crafts Ornaments Nets 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th Grade

This fun, hands-on Christmas 3D shapes pack ticks a lot of boxes. Your students will love making seven Christmas crafts, which could be turned into ornaments, and there's an option to cover geometry math skills with 3D shapes at the same time.

The seven crafts include a Christmas tree (cone), present (cube), bauble (sphere), milk and cookies (cylinders), Santa hat (pyramid), and gingerbread house (rectangular prism and triangular prism).

To turn the crafts into ornaments add string or ribbon, or use the paper handles included on each page.

To integrate this activity with math, use the properties of 3D shapes for younger students, and the nets with measurements and recording sheets for finding the surface area of the nets for older kids. The net measurements are based on the actual sizes rounded to the nearest inch or cm and range in size from 2-6 inches/4-8cm.

What's included?

• U.S and U.K versions (spelling, letter and A4)
• Christmas tree
• Present
• Bauble
• Milk and cookies (includes two sizes to cater to different fine motor skills)
• Santa hat
• Gingerbread house
• Example photo page
• Properties of 3D shapes worksheet and answer key
• Nets with measurements in inches and cm
• Recording sheets for finding the surface area of the rectangular prism, triangular prism, cube, and pyramid

Note: 3D crafts can be challenging for students, especially cylinders, so please consider if your students have the fine motor skills needed before purchasing. Some grade 2 students can do this, but for others it can be a struggle.

I hope your students enjoy making these Christmas crafts!
