Directions:
* If you haven’t already – grab the FREE fall tree busy bag files in the box.com area, listed above in the supply list.
* Print both the fall tree files, in color, on white cardstock paper.
* Set aside the tree branch printout for now.
* Grab the printable with the leaf cutouts, as well as your scissors.
* Trim out the individual leaves with your scissors. You should have ten pieces when you are done.
* Discard excess paper from the above step.
* Now get your laminator hot and ready!
* Go ahead and laminate the tree branch printable & the leaf cutouts.
* Once done laminating, trim out all your pieces so the leaves are all separate again.
* Now you are ready to start piecing the busy bag game together. Grab your velcro dots, the tree branch printable and all the leaf cutout pieces.
* Add a velcro dot to the back of each leaf, as well as on the corresponding number spots on the large tree branch printable.
* And that’s it! Now it’s time to play!
* To play, have your child match up the leaves to their number spot. All they need to do is lay the leaf cutout on the corresponding number spot. The velcro dots should line up and the leaves should stay in place.
* When done playing, remove all the leaf cutouts from the tree branch printable and store all your pieces in a large plastic baggie for repeated future use!
