The colors of the trees have changed and fall is officially in FULL swing. Bring nature to life with today’s beautiful outdoor themed kid craft!

With no real rules but simple creative fun – this Fall Noodle Tree is sure to “pile on” some smiles this fall and be the perfect piece to show off this Thanksgiving holiday! PLUS since we in-cooperated a simple handprint into the craft, it also makes for an awesome keepsake too!!!

So what are you waiting for? Just do it! Grab those supplies {maybe snag a few dry noodles from dinner for this craft} and get to work on “noodling” this up with your child today! Happy crafting this fall season my friends!

Supplies:

* Dry Pasta Noodles
* Paper Plate {large or small}
* Brown Cardstock
* Paint {red, orange, yellow}
* Paint Brushes
* Scissors
* School Glue
* Stapler
* Pencil

Directions:

* First have your child paint a handful or two of the dry noodles for the leaves. Set them aside to let them dry completely.
* While those are drying, go ahead and trace your child’s hand on the brown cardstock. Trim it out to look like a tree trunk. Staple it to the paper plate.
* To finish off the Fall Noodle Tree – have children glue on the “leaves” all over the paper plate. Then set it aside to let it dry completely in place before displaying proudly!
