Thanksgiving Crafts For Kids: Tissue Paper Fall Tree

The trees might be bare, but you can still capture your favorite fall colors in this easy tree craft. Younger kids will love crumpling the tissue paper, and older kids will enjoy choosing their own unique color palette.

What you'll need:

• Brown card stock
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Glue
• White card stock
• Tissue paper in fall colors like red, yellow, orange etc.

Instructions:

1. Using a pencil, lightly freehand a tree trunk onto the brown card stock. This doesn't have to be super neat! The tree trunk should be small enough to fit on the white card stock with plenty of room at the top to create the leaves. Cut out the tree trunk.

2. Glue the tree trunk to the white card stock.

3. Tear a small piece of tissue paper in any color. Crumple the paper in your hand, then glue it to the top of the tree trunk.

4. Repeat Step 3 with different colors of tissue paper until your tree trunk is full of fall color.

5. Allow the glue to dry before displaying your piece of art.
