Easy Fall Tree Activity for Toddlers. We love creating sticky walls and using contact paper for crafting.
Today we are sharing a super easy Fall tree activity for toddlers that we created. It is much simpler than some of the sticky walls we've created before and just allows toddlers to explore the fun of sticky paper and leaves and colors. clear contact paperfabric leavesclear tapebrown paper bag (cut up to look like a tree trunk)scissors To create the Fall tree you first need to make a tree trunk out of brown paper and adhere it to the wall. Next you need to cut out a large oval from the clear contact paper and attach it to the wall (sticky side out) so that it fits above the trunk like a treetop. Lastly, lay out your fabric Fall leaves on the floor and encourage your child to add and remove Fall leaves from the Fall tree. We took breaks in between sticking the leaves on the tree to just throw the leaves and make them fall all over his face.

Name Activities for Preschoolers. I am taking some time over our break to adjust some of the activities in our daily schedule.
There are certain activities that just weren’t working out the way I envisioned them. One of these areas is our “Name and Letter Fun” time.

I used some very basic supplies that we had around the house. The kids will do each activity once per week. Start To Grow: Milk Container Gardening.
