Today we practiced our fine motor and cutting skills with a fun fall tree craft project. First, we gathered some construction paper in fall colors - red, orange, yellow, brown - and set to work cutting! Once the kids had cut all of their "leaves" they got to take turns having their forearm and hand painted brown so they could stamp them down onto their paper for the trunk and branches of their tree. After we were all washed up :) , we tried out a simple new technique... instead of having the kids glue on each of their leaves, they just sprinkled them onto their paper, and we placed a piece of clear contact paper over the top. Glue is lots of fun, too, but this was fun for a quick result. A fun way to focus on the changing season!
