The other day I realized I had been on a bit of a Christmas tree binge. Â Every other project we did around here had a Christmas tree in it. Â Hmm… What does that say? Â Was I a pine tree in a previous life? Â Nah, I just think they’re pretty and they smell nice :) Â Anyway, because it’s Left Brain Craft Brain, those trees were combined with a bit of Christmas STEM. Â Hope you enjoy these Christmas Tree STEM projects. Â This post contains affiliate links.
