Cut some square shapes out of coloured tissue paper - I've gone with red yellow and orange but greens and browns would all work.
Stick the squares onto a paper plate.
Next cut out a shape for your tree trunk - you'll need to do this for younger kids but older ones can do it themselves. As an alternative to a more 'traditional' tree trunk you could draw around your child's hand and a bit of their arm to make a fall tee craft that's a bit more of a keepsake or if you fancy getting the paints out you could even do one as a hand print (and a bit of armprint?!).
Stick the tree trunk onto the paper plate.
Notes
I've used PVA glue for this craft (I think this is known as school glue in other countries) but a glue stick should work just as well and will dry quickly.
Tried this?Mention @craftsonsea - we'd love to see and maybe share it!
