Autumn Trees...

Last year we made so lovely Autumn Tree pictures using a printable tree and decorated with felt leaves and woodland animal stickers. There are lots of free printables available, we used this playdough mat from Picklebums, and GluetoMyCraft also do a nice tree template.

E and I had an experiment this afternoon for a new variation for this year... we've ordered our woodland creatures stickers from Baker Ross as they give a nice finishing touch, but they haven't arrived yet.

First we tried, Autumn coloured buttons and mosaic squares.

Then because E LOVES the shiney mosaic squares... and they make a cheap craft for toddler groups...

And finally, we tried the chubbie paint markers... E had enough by this point, but soon changed her mind because she loves banging the paint markers down to make spots making a lovely colourful Autumn tree. Find out more about Chubbie Paint Markers here.

A fifth variation would be add screwed up tissue paper. What's your favourite? And which shall we do this year?

We went for the buttons and mosiac squares and the toddlers made a fantastic forest of Autumn Trees.

My favourite by Matthew, you can never have too much :-)
