Handprint Tree

Fall Crafts for Kids

This handprint tree is an excellent preschool craft for kids. If you are a teacher looking for Fall crafts for kids in your school room this year, consider making a Fall tree on a mural in your classroom. Each child can trace their hand on a different shade of colored paper, and cut out their hand. A large tree trunk can be painted on a mural and each child can glue on their hand as leaves. This is also a nice fall craft to make for grandparents, which each leaf being one of the grandchildren. Or, you can do as I did here, where most of the leaves are those of my four year old daughter.

Glue

They really enjoyed it! I made it with my students last week, and they really had fun. I am from Brazil and I teach English to children and last week we learned about the seasons....
