Fall art project materials

Let’s make a fall leaves tree with sight words!

  1. Begin this fall tree craft by having your child use a brown marker to draw a tree on the white poster board.
  2. Cut the tree out of the poster board, making sure none of the branches accidentally get cut off.
  3. Let your child use red, yellow, orange and brown chalk to scribble all over the rest of the poster board. The colors should blend, so urge her to overlap each shade. If you don’t have chalk, try using different colors of construction paper for the leaves.
  4. Have your child cut out twenty football-shaped leaves from the colored poster board (or construction paper).
  5. Let her write one word each from her fall vocabulary list on ten of the leaves.
  6. Write ten other words that have nothing to do with fall on the remaining leaves. Don’t let her see these words!
  7. Spread out all the leaves on the table.
  8. Have your child select only the fall words from the pile.
  9. As she picks each word, ask her to define it.
  10. Keep going until the tree is filled with vibrant fall leaves!
