One of our favorite parts of fall is the color of the leaves on the trees. They are super pretty to look at as they change.
We did this fun Yarn Fall Tree is an easy way to show fall colors on a tree. And it is so easy to make!

We read Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf by Lois Ehlert
You can see so many great fall colors in the book. I have read this book a lot with my girls. It is a great way to work on learning more about fall and so many great fall colors.
What you need to make your Fall Yarn Tree
- fall dot marker tree
- glue
- red yarn – cut in small pieces
- yellow yarn – cut in small pieces
- orange yarn – cut in small pieces
How we made the Fall Yarn Tree
We started with the tree but you could paint or color a tree before you put on the yarn.
Put Glue on the Tree
The girls put glue on the paper with the tree where they wanted the leaves to be. Each had a different idea of how big the tree should be.
You can do the glue all a time time or a little bit at a time.
Put Yarn on the Tree
Then they put their yarn on the tree. You can do one color at a time or all the colors of yarn at one time. We did the mix of the colors of yarns.
She had to make sure hers had falling leaves as well. Because leaves fall off the tree in the fall.
Checking the Yarn on the Tree
Every now and then they tested to see if all the yarn was staying on or needed more glue. You just tip the page up and see how much falls off.
Press the Yarn on the Tree
The yarn was pressed down to make it stick more to the glue on the paper. It is a good way to make the yarn stay on the glue on the tree.
