This paper fall tree craft idea is another school craft that I made with the kids as part of our tree unit. We used construction paper and Lakeshore Learning Paper Squares. You could use regular scrapbook paper though to make this easy craft with the kids.
Plastic straw painted tree
Yes, this is another tree unit fall tree. We have a die-cutting machine at school to cut fun shapes and letters which is how we got the tree shape. The fall leaves were made by cutting the end of a plastic straw and having the kids dip the end into paint and stamp it onto the paper.
Stick tree craft
Use sticks that have fallen on the ground to make these fun fall tree crafts. There are so many different items you can use for the leaves. We made thumbprint, seed, button, and scrapbook paper trees.
