Autumn Forest Craft for Preschool - How to do it

  1. Lay the cardboard flat. Roll playdough into balls and position them on different parts of the cardboard. These will be the base of the trees.
  2. Stick twigs through the playdough.
  3. Using a paint brush, apply glue on the twigs and stick the cut up pieces of paper in autumn colors. If the ‘leaves’ fall from the branches and onto the ground, it doesn’t matter. It is after all, the fall season.

    What a cute idea and very clever using play dough to hold the trees up! My daughter will love this. It will bring a little fall to our very green, Florida house 🙂 Thanks for sharing on #ToddlerFunFriday
