Meet me a Tree
Craft
Summer
Make a window picture! Collect some green leaves or grass. Stick them to a window using water. You can make a picture if you like. Watch the light shining through - like a stained glass window.
Alternatively, you could shine the light from a torch through the leaves of a houseplant. Or even some green paper or card. See the light turn into a green glow.

Autumn
Rustle! Can you collect some recycled paper and scrunch it up to make a scrunchy crunchy carpet? How many sounds can you make? Can they keep to the beat?
You could use the scrunched paper to print patterns and shapes with paint.
Or, make a rustly tree with brown paper, the wrapping for this box is ideal. Can you twist some brown paper to make a tree? Can it sway in the breeze?

Winter
‘Nest...Hibernate.. Burrow... Sleep! It’s cold outside so snuggle up and feel the warmth of a great big hug’
Make night time trees. In a dark room, make shadow trees on the walls using a torch and your hands. Can you make a forest using big hands and small hands? Can you make branches that wave and waft?

Spring
Smell the flowers - collect scents.
Breathe! Inside or out can you smell any flowers?
Make your own tree picture! Make the trunk with a handprint in brown paint, your fingers are the branches and your palm is the trunk. Use fingerprints to make the leaves in different colours. Can you make blossom prints too?
