PARENTS are raving about a 3D felt Christmas tree which they say is keeping their kids entertained for hours – and away from the real one.
Decorating trees is a magical family tradition, but smaller children may be less interested in a real live spruce, or constantly knock off decorations.

To keep them entertained, parents are resorting to buying them their own trees made from felt.
The trees are the perfect height for toddlers at 2ft 2 ins tall, with mums saying their little ones are enjoying rearranging the baubles on their toy versions.
Various stores sell them, with Amazon selling one for £9.99 with free delivery.
After ordering her tree, this mum raved about it on Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, where her post has racked up more than 2,000 likes.

The tree comes with 18 baubles, including a star, holly, reindeer, presents and a snowman.
