Fall Classroom Tree Craft

The Fall Classroom Tree is a project that allows all the kids to get involved. If your class has more students than this tree can accommodate, simply make a larger and taller trunk to fit everyone. The children will enjoy seeing their names alongside their classmates on the tree. For those participating in remote learning, collaborating on a tree with your Zoom classmates is a great way to maintain connections during these challenging times.

Trivia:

In the fall, because of changes in the length of daylight and changes in temperature, the leaves stop their food-making process. The chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears, and the yellow to orange colors become visible and give the leaves part of their fall splendor.

Supplies

Card Stock
Construction Paper (Fall Colors)
Scissors
School Glue
Black Marker

Instructions

Print out your tree on white card stock.
Print leaves on the fall colored construction Paper for the children to cut out. Give each a section of the page with one leaf on it.Teachers: If you are cutting out the leaves, I suggest that you cut out a pattern sheet on white paper and cut out 3 or 4 sheets at one time. Just staple the pattern over the four stacked sheets including in the middle of the page but not inside the leaf pattern. This will keep your pattern stable while you cut.
Have each child write his/her name on their leaf. If remote learning write each zoom partner’s name on a leaf.
Then put a small dab of glue on the bottom end of the leaf and “hang” on the tree. When your tree is complete hang it on the bulletin board or fridge for all to admire.
