One of our favorite parts of fall is the color the leaves on the trees. We did this fun Yarn Tree to show the fall colors on the trees. This is a fun easy to do craft for fall.
We read Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf by Lois Ehlert
What you need: fall dot marker tree, glue and yarn red, yellow & orange.
The girls put glue on the paper where they wanted the leaves to be. Each had a different idea of how big the tree should be.
Then they put their leaves on. Amelia had to make sure hers had falling leaves as well.
Every now and then they tested to see if all the yarn was staying on or needed more glue.
The yarn was pressed down to make it stick more to the glue.
The final product.

This is a clever idea! Both my boys would love doing this. Putting it on my list!
I love those. I’ve seen a lot of fall tree crafts but I’ve never seen one with yarn leaves. What an easy and cute way to do it!
We also read Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf! Love the yarn trees! Very Creative!
Thanks! I was hoping it would be something different!
These trees are super cute! Can’t wait to try this with my little ones as the leaves change color! I love Fall!
Fall has been so much fun so far for us!
Lovely trees! What a fun way to make a fall tree.
You have so many creative tree idea! I love this yarn tree, and all of its autumn colors.
I love your yarn trees. The colors are great! This looks like such a fun activity. This is the same book that we did.
It was a lot of fun to do!
I have a bunch of pre-cut yarn (the kind they use for hook rugs) that I was given forever ago. This looks PERFECT for using it! Thank you!
It is easy to use that pre-cut yarn for trees. 🙂
I love what you are doing with yarn. It is such a wonderful small motor crafting material. The trees look great. Thank you for linking to Read.Explore.Learn.
I have a few others planned. It just kinda happened after my ocean one this summer.
This are adorable! I can’t wait to try it with my daughters. I love that it will work for muliple ages. Thank you so much for sharing and hosting the Virtual Book Club for Kids!
