Foam Stickers Fall Trees

Putti and her friend enjoyed making these Fall Trees and I love how they turned out. Who knew some dollar store foam stickers could make such a beautiful work of wall art.

These trees are very similar to the Heart Tree that Putti made during Valentine's day.  Thanks to the foam stickers from dollar tree. 200 leaf shaped stickers for a dollar, isn't that awesome. 

Supplies needed for Fall Tree:

• brown or green paper
• leaf shaped foam stickers (or could cut out leaves from various colored papers)
• thick paper or cardstock
• glue
• a pencil
• newspaper to cover work area

The girls first started by sorting out the stickers by shape and colors. There were maple, oak and rose leaves in various colors.

Then each girl chose the leaves they want to use for their tree. Putti picked oak and her friend maple leaves.  I purposely removed most of the green ones from the lot. Then the girls traced her palms and part of their arms onto the brown construction paper and cut it out which became the stem. 

Later on, they glued the stem to the white cardstock.

Next the two girls loved peeling the back of the stickers and putting them on their tree stems.

The two girls with their completed Fall Trees masterpieces.

Books we read:

  

When Autumn Falls by Kelli Nidey is a fun book about all the changes that Fall brings. It is an is an eye catching way for very young readers to become familiar with and learn to appreciate this special time of year. 

Fall Mixed Up by Bob Raczka  talks about what Fall brings as well, except the little boy in the story gets it all mixed up; i.e., "Apples turn orange, pumpkins turn red, Leaves float up into blue skies overhead." It is fun to read to the kids for them to laugh about the mishaps in the book. After reading it, you go back through and find all the mistakes.
