Toddler Activity: Sticky Paper Fall Tree!

In the past we’ve used contact paper for a few activities so I thought why not try making a tree for fall?!  Contact paper is such an easy way to do multiple activities!  You can cut it into shapes or just use a big rectangle.  Since Carter has done a snowman, Easter craft and other activities on the sticky paper, he knew exactly what to do!
This activity is perfect for fall and is so easy to set up!

 

Before taking off the backing, I drew the tree on the none-sticky side of the contact paper with a permanent marker.  Just for fun I wrote “tree” as well, which came out a little funny looking since I had to write it backwards!  I taped the sticky paper on the front door with some packing tape, which is hard to see since it’s so bright outside!  I didn’t want to tape it to the wall though, because I was worried the tape would mess up the paint.  I’ve tried it with painters tape in the past, but it doesn’t hold as well and Carter can easily tear it down.

I set out the plastic container with fake leaves and Carter immediately knew what to do when he saw it.  We worked together to stick all the leaves up.  They didn’t stay on very well, but that was okay because it gave us a chance to talk about “fall” and leaves falling off the trees.  Then I took out a roll of tape and we taped them back on.

We also went outside and gathered a few real leaves to add to our “tree,” which Carter loved doing!  I hung our artwork up in the dining room so we can enjoy it all fall!

    This is great! I might do something similar for our windows, since this actually looks like stained glass a bit!

    I love activities with the vibrant colored leaves of fall! It must be so cool in a childs mind to see a leaf that isn't green! Love the activity!
    Thanks for sharing!

    What a super fun idea!!! I haven't done any crafts with contact paper yet with the kids. Quite frankly, I forgot all about it until now!
