Welcome back to Toddler Idea Tuesdays! I hope you will join with me again in sharing the fun activities, crafts, and lessons that you are doing with your young children.
Today I wanted to share the craft I did with the preschool group at our homeschool co-op last week. I wanted to do something fall related. So, we made Fall Hand Trees. We personalized the fall trees by using a tracing of each child's hand and forearm for the tree trunk and branches. Then they got to work on fine motor skills by ripping strips of paper to make leaves.
Here is Hannah's:

I did this activity with my four and five year old kiddos in Sunday school class. My {almost} two year old would enjoy it just as much.
