5 Little Christmas Trees

Use the stencil below to cut out 5 trees and an axe for the fingerplay. The trees are larger than the picture above which was resized to fit on my page. Enjoy!

Five little Christmas trees
Stood all alone.
Their hearts were sad
For they hadn't found a home.
Chop! went the ax.
Down came the tree.
And off it went with a happy family.

Four little Christmas trees
Stood all alone.
Their hearts were sad
For they hadn't found a home.
Chop! went the ax.
Down came the tree.
And off it went with a happy family.

Three little Christmas trees
Stood all alone.
Their hearts were sad
For they hadn't found a home.
Chop! went the ax.
Down came the tree.
And off it went with a happy family.

Two little Christmas trees
Stood all alone.
Their hearts were sad
For they hadn't found a home.
Chop! went the ax.
Down came the tree.
And off it went with a happy family.

One little Christmas tree
Stood all alone.
It's heart was sad
For it hadn't found a home.
Chop! went the ax.
Down came the tree.
And off it went with a happy family.

*Have a child come and 'chop' down one of the trees each time and 'take it home'.
