Extra Large Display Christmas Tree Cut-out

A beautiful Christmas Tree print for decorating the classroom:

This extra-large Christmas tree art print is just the thing for bringing a bit of festive cheer to the classroom in the days leading up to the Christmas holidays.

The Christmas tree print is beautifully illustrated in Twinkl's special house style, perfect for making those Christmas decorations even more appealing to children. 

The print is available in a number of different versions, all of which can be found just underneath the 'Download Now' button. As standard, the Christmas tree comes fully decorated and prints off as 4 sheets of A4 paper. This is perfect to use as a classy centrepiece in a Christmas themed classroom display. 

You'll also find an option to print it off as 9 sides of A4, making it the same size as a real-life Christmas tree. This is an ideal option if you're looking for a show-stopping decoration to brighten up your reading area. You could get children to gather around the Christmas tree print whilst taking part in group reading exercises, just like in a classic Christmas story.

You can also print the Christmas tree off without any decorations. This version is just the thing if you want to encourage children to make their own decorations in a fun arts and crafts activity to round the term off with a bit of creative fun.

Benefits of this Christmas tree art print:

If you're feeling adventurous this Christmas, it can be a lot of fun to get children involved in decorating the classroom or home. And, of course, Christmas tree decorations just wouldn't be complete without a tree, which is where this print comes in. 

If you use the version that isn't per-decorated, then you can offer children a wonderful festive blank canvass that they can get really creative with. Giving them the freedom to make their own design choices when decorating, it is a great way to promote independent learning and creative thought. It can also encourage children to feel a sense of ownership and to take pride in their work.

There are plenty of other practical benefits associated with children making their own decorations too, such as improved hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.

We've got plenty of festive decorations that can easily be made from paper and would look wonderful alongside this Christmas tree print. Here are just a few we think you might like:

What do Christmas trees symbolise?

Traditionally Christmas trees symbolise Jesus Christ. 

Because Christmas trees are usually an evergreen conifer, such as a spruce, pine or fir, they remain green throughout the year. This is thought to be reminiscent of Jesus's eternal life.

Furthermore, Christmas trees tend to make a triangular shape, with one point at the top and two at the bottom. Some believe that these 3 points represent the holy trinity; God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

In 2004 Pope John Paul described the Christmas tree as a symbol of Christ's undying life and a reminder of the "tree of life" mentioned in the Book of Genesis.
