Fingerprint Fall Tree

The Big One and I made fall trees last week. Since our leaves don't change colors here in Florida, we made our own foliage...

 

This craft was very simple and fun to do. The Big One wanted to have leaves falling as well as on the branches... she ended up getting a little carried away, as you will see in her finished product.

 

Supplies

 

white and brown construction paper



green, red, yellow, and orange paint


1. Trace your child's hand and forearm on brown construction paper. Cut it out and glue it to the white paper.

 

 

2. The Big One decided to paint grass along the bottom of her paper. Then just make fingerprint leaves in different colors around the "branches" to fill in your fall tree.

 

 

Easy peasy, right?

 

This is what it looked like when she was finished! There are branches in there somewhere... I think! LOL! What matters most is that she had fun!
