SACK TREE
Here is a great idea sent in by Sara Bishop from Otterbein, IN.
| |
Tear or cut out large pieces of brown paper sacks. |
 |
Then, crumple the pieces and staple them on a bulletin board
in the shape of a tree. |
Note: You could also cut long paper
strips for the branches and twist them if you like.
|
| Sara says, “The best part of the
tree is that you can use it all year long” |
|
For Fall - make paper leaves decorated with
glitter or water colors. |
|
For Winter – add snowflakes and snow. |
|
For Spring – create tissue paper blossoms. |
|
For Summer – decorate with beautiful green leaves. |
| Note: Check out “The Surprise Tree”
at the Story Station for more tree fun. |
INDIVIDUAL PAPER SACK
TREES.
These trees are great for older children, four and up to make. |
| |
Give each child a brown lunch sack and some
scrap sheets of paper. |
| |
Have the children crumble up two or three sheets of paper
and stuff it in the bottom of their sacks. |
|
Then have them cut down about four inches, all the way around
their sacks about one to two inches apart. |
|
Then, have them carefully twist each strip into an interesting
branch. |
|
Help children twist the sack in the middle to close it up. |
|
Branches can be decorated with small leaves or blossoms glued
on. |
| HAND AND ARM PRINT TREES |
| |
Let your children paint their hand and arm with brown paint. |
 |
Then have them make a print on a piece of white or light blue paper. |
