What you will need for your autumn trees activity
A sheet of clear sticky back plastic or contact paper
1 brown indelible pen
Brown watercolour paint (optional)
Scissors

How to make your own autumn trees
1. Using the brown pen, draw an outline of a tree trunk and branches on the non-stick side of the sticky back plastic or contact paper.
2. Either leave the trunk or branches blank or colour them in using the brown pen or brown watercolour paint.
3. Once the paint or pen has dried out, peel off the backing to the sticky back plastic or contact paper.
4. Hold the non-stick side to a glass door (wooden door, cupboard door or other hard service) then stick down the corners and edges with the sellotape, making sure the sticky side faces out.
5. Put all the leaves into a large box or bowl so they’re easy for your little one to use.
6. Let them rummage through the box and choose leaves to stick onto the sticky back plastic or contact paper to decorate the tree.
