This week’s craft was simple and inspired by this (click image for source):
We didn’t have two shades of green or any red construction paper so we decided to make yellow apples. We also didn’t have any crepe paper so we improvised.
We sprayed the yellow paper with lots of water. Tore pieces and crumpled them up.
David got to use his safety scissors to cut out the tree trunk.
Then we glued the tree together.
We then glued the crumpled up papers to the tree. This turned out to be the best part of the whole thing. Each time we glued a piece down, we had to count to twenty to get the piece to stick so we started at 1 and counted all the way to 260 or so. David did all the counting and it was awesome. We even got to spend a little time talking about the hundredths place.
Here’s our finished tree. I promise it looks nicer now that the glue has dried up. And we used sparkly modge podge so it’s all shiny too.
Another quick but fun craft!
