Craft Supplies:

Before you begin, it’s essential to gather all the necessary materials. This ensures a smooth crafting experience and keeps the kids focused and excited. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Decorative Leaves {or real from outdoors}
  • Large Paper Plate
  • School Glue
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Pencil or Pen
  • Scissors
  • Stapler
  • optional materials – fall themed stickers

These materials are easy to find, and you might already have most of them at home. If you’re using real leaves, take a fun nature walk with the kids to collect them. This adds an extra layer of excitement and exploration to the project.

Directions:

  • First put a good amount of school glue ALL over the paper plate.
  • Now have children take the various leaves and place them on the paper plate, until it’s completely covered.
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • While that is drying – go ahead and trace your child’s handprint/arm on the brown cardstock with the pencil.
  • Trim out the traced handprint design, to make the tree trunk of the craft.
  • To finished off the Paper Plate Fall Tree craft, staple the handprint cutout to the paper plate.
  • Add any other embellishments you see fit {maybe an owl sticker or two on the tree branches!}
  • Then allow it dry completely before you display it proudly for all to see!!
  • Don’t forget to share pictures with us on you social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
