Fall is a season of vibrant colors, crisp air, and endless opportunities for creative expression. Whether it’s enjoying the sight of leaves turning from green to gold or crafting autumn-inspired art, there’s a sense of warmth and joy in the air.

Today’s “Torn Paper Fall Tree” craft is the perfect activity to engage kids in celebrating the beauty of the season. With a free printable tree template included, it’s easy to set up and suitable for children of all ages.

This craft combines textures, bright colors, and hands-on fun, making it a hit with kids while sparking creativity and artistic expression.

Craft Supplies:

Before you start, make sure you have the following items on hand:

  • Construction Paper {red, orange, brown and yellow}
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Fall Tree Printable – from our landing page
  • School Glue
  • Crayons, Coloring Pencils or Markers
  • Embellishments

These materials are easy to find and budget-friendly, making this craft accessible for classrooms, at-home crafters, or after-school activities.

Directions:

Begin by setting up an organized crafting station. Follow these steps to create your torn paper fall tree craft:

  • Start by downloading the free printable fall tree template and printing it on sturdy white cardstock paper. This template acts as the base of the craft and provides a tree shape that kids can decorate with their torn paper leaves. At this point in time, have kids use their desired craft medium to color in the tree.
  • Next, gather your fall-colored construction paper – reds, oranges, yellows, browns, and greens.
  • Tear the paper into small, uneven pieces about the size of a penny or a postage stamp. This step is particularly exciting for younger kids because there’s no right or wrong way to do it! The torn edges create a lovely textured effect that mimics the natural shapes of leaves.
  • Now have them use school glue to glue those pieces to the tree design in the printable. Remind the kids that the goal isn’t perfection—it’s about having fun and creating something that’s entirely their own.
  • Once the torn paper masterpiece is complete, set the artwork aside to dry. Then, proudly display it in a special spot! These crafts make fantastic refrigerator art, classroom decorations, or even thoughtful autumn-themed gifts for family members.
