Hi there,
Christmas is long gone...and the new year has just begun...so I am a little late in posting this sketching tutorial. Maybe you can learn and use it for the next Christmas...If your child loves to draw, this is one activity that keep him/her occupied for a long time.
Actually I sketched these for my daughter during the Christmas vacations itself. She was making some greeting cards for her friends during the Christmas break, and was out of ideas. She wanted to draw a Christmas tree differently in every card. So, there I was helping her out. The sketches are very easy to make involving just a few lines.

You can make use of different shapes and feel free to sketch them. Have a look at picture 02 below. The first five in the entire set makes use of only triangles. It gets a little complicated as we move down towards other options. The 6th one is just a bunch of rectangles, starting from the top, they get bigger as we go down. The 8th one is like a wiggly snake. 9th option is again very simple; begin with a central spine and add a triangle to it. From 10th to 16th, you add the curves to get the spruce effect. the 18th option is just a pile of circles, while the 19th is again just a triangle with a star on the top. Easy ain't it?
Go to 21st option, and its just two triangles one above the other.

24th option is just adding some eyes and mouth to give it a cartoon look. Children love to draw cartoons. And this one turned out to be a favorite option preferred by my child. The last option is just curvy lines.

Turns out my daughter used at least 10 of these sketches to make her cards. So my effort was not in vain.
If you love drawing and sketching, do try them out. I am sure you will come up with more ideas to draw a Christmas tree.
Hope this tutorial was helpful. Thank you for stopping by.
Have a good day...
