This post is part of Autumn Inspiration Week by Inspired Bloggers Network.
Even though the temperatures are still way to hot for fall, I am longing for those crisp mornings and the crackle of leaves underfoot. I was thinking about previous years and thought about this quick art activity I did with Ruble when he was younger.
After reading Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf by Lois Ehlert, I sat with Ruble and we made a pretty autumnal tree of our own.
Needs:
- Green construction paper
- Brown string
- Liquid glue
- Green, red, yellow tissue paper cut into small squares
- Glue stick
Form the shape of a tree trunk using the string and liquid glue. Older preschoolers can probably do this on their own while younger preschoolers will need help.
Then, have your child glue “leaves” to the tree.
What a perfect way to celebrate fall.

Swing by and visit with all these wonderful ladies and their fun ideas for Fall.
What a cute idea! My twins just turned 3 years old and this will be a great project for them this fall. Thanks and I’ll look forward to more this week via the #InspiredBN. Be blessed!
I love this! I think we’ll do it at kids’ preschool class at co-op.
