To make the snow covered pine tree, provide children with a paper plate, a paintbrush, and some white paint. Let children color pinecones white (great fine motor skill activity).
Sprinkle some iridescent glitter on top of the tree while the paint is still wet. Let dry.
Place the winter pine trees and Olaf on the white felt.
Provide children with different decoration materials to create a Winter Wonderland for Olaf and his friends.
