This DIY learning game idea is a great way to keep little ones busy with a fall themed activity, as well as teaching them some matching skills and number recognition.

Best part – I’ve made making this Fall Tree Busy Bag Idea SUPER easy for YOU, so there are no need for excuses from either of us.

All you need to do is download the file, print and then laminate it to create the busy bag idea. Then grab some small velcro stickies and you are well on your way to pulling it together!

Sounds super simple, right? So go ahead – find all the details below, grab the free file and get to work. It’s another great thing to keep the kids busy this fall season!

Game Supplies:

PAGE 1 – file on box.com
PAGE 2 – file on box.com
White Cardstock Paper
Laminator Machine
Clear Laminating Sheets
Small Dot Velcro Stickers
Small Tip Craft Scissors
Color Printer

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!
