Materials Needed:
- Large Piece of Paper
- Crayons
- Misc. Supplies (see suggestions below)
Instructions:
This is an easy craft idea! On the large piece of paper, trace your hand and forearm all the way up to your elbow. Make sure your fingers are spread apart. The tracing of your forearm will be the tree trunk and your fingers will be the branches! Color it in with brown crayons (or you could use paint or markers).
Using the misc. supplies, cut out small triangles or leaf shapes, and glue them all over your tree's 'branches' to be the leaves! Make sure you use lots of reds, oranges, yellows, and browns to make colorful Autumn leaves!
To make your leaves try some of these suggestions:
- Construction Paper
- Tissue Paper
- Cardboard
- Crepe Paper
- Wallpaper Samples
- Scrap Material
- Buttons
- Felt
- Pieces of Real Autumn Leaves
- Anything else you can find that has Autumn colors!
You can also use paint to make the leaves easily! Pour a little paint on a paper plate, dip your finger in it, and then make fingerprints on the tree branches! Do this with red, orange, yellow, and brown, and you have a tree full of Autumn leaves!
