While you allow time for the tree trunk to dry, have students decorate their white card stock to look like the ground. They can draw on leaves and grass and even glue on a few fall embellishments (acorns, apples, etc). Small fall embellishments should be easy to find at your local dollar or big box store this time of year.

Provide little ones with dot markers for this part of the project!

Once the tree trunk is dry, cut four slits into the bottom and glue the trunk down to the middle of the decorated card stock. Then cut longer slits into the top of the trunk, fold out to look like branches and have your kiddos glue on their leaves. For the leaves you could pick up a package of thin fall colored leaves at your local dollar store or you could provide your kiddos with fall colored tissue paper.
