Fall Tree Handprint Craft

This was a simple and cute fall craft that Hailey and Hunter both enjoyed.

First I traced their hand and arm.  Then they colored it brown to look like a tree.

Then they added torn up tissue paper for leaves and grass.

Very simple and cute.

Tot School

Hunter is 21.5 months old.

This week at Tot School we focused on the color orange, the letter B and fall.

Hunter loved playing with the orange playdough.  He used a little knife to cut it and some letters to stamp it.  Mostly he just wanted to carry it around all day in his hands.

He colored in his calendar notebook using an orange dry erase marker (his pages are in page protectors).

He made a Bumble Bee letter B, like the Bumble Bee B that Hailey made when she was a toddler.

Completed Bumble Bee B.

Hunter stamping the “B for Bus” using the printables from the Zoomin Movin Alphabet.

 Gluing buses onto the letter B, also from the Zoomin Movin Alphabet.

 I am using Road Trip USA for Hailey, and Hunter enjoys doing it too.  He was finding the fish on our USA Animals wall.

He also helped Hailey paint the water for a bridge project she was making.

Hunter colored a tree for a fall tree craft that we made.

Bee Crafty Kids- Cute Scarecrow

Welcome back to the Bee Crafty Kids link up that I am co-hosting with To The Moon and Back,  Look! We’re Learning and Monster’s Ed Homeschooling Academy.

We have been really busy this week and didn’t have time for a new craft.  So, I’m sharing an older craft with you that I think turned out super cute.

Here’s what you’ll need:
scrapbook paper for his shirt
construction paper for his face, his buttons, his nose and the crows
part of a cardboard box for his hat and stake (we colored the stake black)
The green stuff for the grass is actually a few pieces cut off of a cheerleading pom-pom. (Although you could just use tissue paper).
His hair is a few little pieces I took off of the top of some Indian corn.

Glue everything together.

Adorable scarecrow

Bee Crafty Kids- Acorn Craft

Welcome back to the Bee Crafty Kids link up that I am co-hosting with To The Moon and Back,  Look! We’re Learning and Monster’s Ed Homeschooling Academy.

We have been so busy all week getting ready to go on vacation that we ran out of time to do a craft.  So, I’m sharing an old one with you.  With fall right around the corner I thought it would be fun to share a fall activity.

Here is a simple and cute acorn craft:

First you’ll need to paint a brown piece of paper with a darker shade of brown.

Once the paint dries, rip apart the paper. Also, rip apart a piece of regular brown paper.

Glue the lighter colored brown paper to the top of the acorn and the brown paper that was painted to the bottom of the acorn.

The finished acorn.
