Autumn Trees

not sure why i called this post "autumn"... i never call it autumn.  around here.. it's fall.  that's all. 

at the day care yesterday we celebrated a bit of fall colors by making our own trees.  i drew the tree frames on white construction paper with a brown magic marker.   then tore one red, one orange, and one yellow piece of construction paper in to small pieces and divided them, putting a bit of each color in separate bowls and included a glue stick in each. 

first, the kids and i, talked about what was going on outside.  about all the trees changing and the colors and the season.  then they got to dab the glue sticks and paste the colored bits of paper on to their trees.  they much enjoyed it and they turned out very pretty!








simple. easy. effective.
