Fall Tree Craft

This week's craft was a fall tree. It was a simple one because I had to study all day. I glued a bare tree (made out of napkins because we don't have brown construction paper) to the background. I let Xavier help me squeeze some glue out for the "leaves" that I had pre-cut for him. I told him to glue the paper onto it, but I don't think he understands yet. He grabbed handfuls of the cut paper and just put them all in one big pile on the glue. I had to show him how to spread it across to all the parts of background that had glue on it. He put clumps of "leaves" on the paper until he could no longer see the background. After shaking off the excess, here is how it came out.

The leaves are falling off the tree into piles on the ground. The important part is that he had fun!
