We love it when fall arrives and the leaves all fall from the trees. My daughter and I usually go on a leaf collecting hunt and then do a few craft projects. This week we made a tree on paper but used real leaves for the leaves.
2 sheets of construction paper (I recommend one brown)
Glue
Scissors
Leaves you collected with your child
Something heavy
Directions:
Step #1: Cut out a tree trunk with the brown construction paper. If you do not have brown paper, your child can simply color the tree trunk brown.
Step #2: Glue the tree trunk to the full sized sheet of construction paper.
Step #3: Glue the leaves to the top of the tree trunk. We used white school glue as that worked a lot better than regular glue sticks.
Step #4: Place a large (or a few small) heavy objects on top of the leaves. This forces them to stay down and it will make it a million times easier for the leaves to actually dry glued to the paper.
