Oh, Christmas tree?

Christmas is my favorite holiday! I have a lot of tree traditions and this is the first year that my toddler is super mobile and frankly, destructive. 😅 As a FTM pleeease give me the secrets to keeping my LO away from the tree. Or should I just get a mini one I can put on our display case this year? :/

I would involved him in the making then tell him to be careful, I find they are less destructive if it's their creation. Put it in a corner , have a christmas tree stand cover to avoid his little hands to grab it under , if you can attach the tree to something for it to don't fall as well.....my son never had issue with the tree, he would go look at the decoration but never tried anything crazy😅 and obviously we don't leave him alone in the room where the tree is

We put most of our decorations on the top half of the tree. Then wrapped some empty boxes to put in front like a barrier. Once she was about 2 we let her help decorate. She was so proud of her pretty tree she left it alone that year x

Put the baby gates around the tree. 🎄

Ooh ooh ooh baby pen look up play pen and put around the tree!

With my son we put it in a room that was already blocked with a gate with my daughter she was only six months old so she was crazy mobile but it was in a room we were all always in so it was easy to redirect. I also had a chair in front of part of it to help deter. I would do what you normally would do. Teach them respect involve them in the process ans but fragile stuff up high. If there is anything you would be devastated to loss don't put it out. But the sooner we teach them how to act with a tree the sooner they learn. I think we also did it In stages. First the tree was up then a day or so later the garland and so forth. That way when it was truly fragile they were use to it. Also teach ask and one finger touch so it's not some forbidden fruit

@Charlee wow I love that!
