What are the parts of a Christmas tree?

Labeling a Christmas tree is a fun holiday activity that helps kids learn the meaning behind each part. From the star representing the Star of Bethlehem to the sturdy pot that keeps the tree secure.

As you go through the parts, explain their roles and significance.

For example, share how candles used to light trees (though today, we rely on electric or LED lights for safety).

This interactive approach helps kids connect with each part, making the season feel even more special.

The star or other decoration at the top represents the Star of Bethlehem, guiding the Wise Men to Jesus.

Ornaments hang on branches and come in various shapes and materials, like glass or wood. They bring color and personality to the tree.

The tree’s pot or stand holds water, keeping it fresh and stable throughout the season.

These leafy sections are perfect for hanging ornaments, lights, and decorations, giving the tree its classic, lush look.

The tree’s trunk is its central, sturdy stem, typically set in a stand to keep it upright and secure.

Tree lights are strung around branches to create a cozy glow. While real candles were once used, today’s trees shine safely with electric or LED lights.
