Children can gather one or two real leaves each week and tape them
to the tree. After a few weeks, the tree will be full of beautiful, colorful
and different kinds of leaves. Or, instead of real leaves you can use
leaves cut out from colored construction paper using the following templates:
leaf template 1
leaf template 2

Light blue construction paper for sky
Medium green construction paper for grass
Yellow construction paper for letters (4 inches high)
Yellow construction for sun and border
Red construction paper butterflies
Brown construction paper for tree trunk and limbs
When making the tree trunk, be sure to make long limbs so the
kids will have an easier time finding a spot to tape their leaves.
To reduce the amount of cutting and brown construction paper,
you may want to extend limbs using a brown marker.
