Seasons of an Apple Tree

I found this fabulous craft idea on Pinterest from Lakeshore Learning that I just had to try.  It seemed simple enough for our ability level so early in the school year.

My wonderfully crafty co-worker adapted it to her tastes and I liked her version so I went with that. 

We used a tree trunk template that was photocopied onto brown construction paper.  You can grab it {here}.

You will need:

• brown pipe cleaners or yarn
• brown, orange, yellow, red, pink, and green tissue paper
• cotton balls
• foam pumpkins or jack-o-lanterns
• tree trunks
• liquid glue
• ledger sized paper (11x17)
• 12x18 construction paper for mounting
