I’m excited to see the season changing to fall because I have so many fun kids crafting projects lined up.  Last week we made fall themed trees.

This project used items I found in my crafting closet:
-empty Play-Doh containers
-cardboard (cut into tree branch shape)
-brown yarn
-Elmer’s glue (not shown)
-brown, green, orange, and yellow paint (not shown)

I directed my daughter to start by gluing the cardboard tree trunk to a piece of cardstock.  Then I told her to use the brown yarn and glue to add bark to the trunk.  Once she had the trunk completed I gave her the paint and Play-Doh containers.  Pouring the paint on a plate eliminated the need for a paintbrush.  The Play-Doh lids are then used with the paint to stamp fall leaves on the tree.  This was a very fun project and a great learning opportunity.
