Celebrate and learn about the changing seasons with your little one by creating this adorable handprint fall tree craft. This simple fall craft only requires a few materials so it's an easy craft for preschoolers and toddlers to enjoy creating. This darling handprint craft is also a great opportunity to teach children about the different colors associated with the fall season: red, yellow, orange, brown and green. Here is another adorable fall handprint craft kids will love making this year.
Have a child place their hand with their fingers spread open and their upper arm on a piece of brown construction paper. Use a pencil to trace around the arm and fingers on the paper. Cut out the handprint and arm. This makes your tree trunk and tree limbs.
Use a glue stick to add glue on the back of the handprint tree. Glue it at the bottom and middle of a piece of light blue cardstock paper.
Cut a rectangle off the bottom of a green piece of construction paper for grass. Use a glue stick to add glue on the back of the rectangle and glue it at the bottom of your blue cardstock.
Grab your fabulous foam self-adhesive fall leaf stickers. Remove a leaf sticker from the sheet and place it at the top of your handprint on your finger tree limbs. The self-adhesive leaves come in a variety of different leaf styles and in five different fall colors: red, orange, yellow, green and brown. This makes it so there are lots of ways for children to customize their handprint fall tree craft.
Continue removing self-adhesive leaf stickers from the sheets and placing them around the fingers of the handprint to fill your tree branches with fall leaves. Make sure to also add leaves at the bottom of your paper on the grass to show leaves falling off your tree.
After you have finished filling your tree with colorful leaf stickers, your handprint fall tree craft is finished. Display your handprint craft at home or school for a festive fall decoration.
