Make a printed-palm tree
Help your tot commemorate autumn with this change-of season collage, which uses fallen leaves to decorate a lovely handprint tree.
To make one, have your child paint his palm and wrist with brown tempera, then press them on a piece of paper to make a print. (Tip: For easier cleanup, add one tablespoon of dish soap for each 2/3 cup of paint.) While the tree is drying, he can add red fingerprint apples. Have him squeeze white glue over the branches and under the tree, then sprinkle on torn-up leaves and blades of grass gathered from a woodsy walk or backyard ramble. Allow the collage to dry completely before hanging.
