Suggested Family Activity 🌳Tree Craft

Published by Library Staff on

Look around your kitchen this week and see what interesting things you can use to make a fall tree.  One idea is to draw a tree trunk on a piece of paper and glue small round breakfast cereal pieces (such as Cheerios) to represent falling leaves.  Another fun idea is to trace your child’s arm and hand with their fingers spread out onto black or brown paper to be the trunk and limbs of the tree.  If you only have white paper available though, no worries!  Just trace it and have your kids color the tree trunk.

You can make falling leaves for your tree by tearing up small pieces of tissue paper, crepe paper, or even regular paper in fall colors such as yellow, red, and orange.  Crumple and scrunch each piece to make it look like a falling leaf.
