Tissue Paper Fall Tree Craft

Fall time wouldn’t be complete in my house without a fun Fall Tree Craft! It’s something we look forward to every year. When I found out the kids craft stars craft challenge was all about tissue paper this month I was excited to dive in with the beautiful fall colors of red, orange, yellow and gold. We made this gorgeous Tissue Paper Fall Tree Craft. I love how scrunching up and adding tissue paper onto the tree is great for fine motor skills for younger kids but that it’s also a fun craft for older children making it a perfect family activity.

Supplies you will need:

red, yellow, orange and gold tissue paper (cut into squares)
paper plate
cardboard
brown paint
small paper plate
school glue
stapler

Directions:

1. Cut out tree trunk and paint brown lines on it

Start by cutting a rectangle out of your cardboard for your tree trunk. Cut another small section out to use as a stamp to make texture onto your tree trunk. Pour a small amount of brown paint onto a paper plate and using the end of the extra cardboard piece, dip it into the brown paint and then onto your cardboard trunk. Make lines up and down your trunk. (As an alternative and to save time, you could also use a brown marker to make the lines on the tree trunk.)

2. Glue tissue paper bits onto back of paper plate until it is full

Add school glue onto one section on the back of a paper plate and then scrunch and add tissue paper onto the paper plate. Continue adding glue and tissue paper to different sections until it is full.
