Thanks to Denise Imbody in Massachusetts for this craft idea! http://www.jemministries.org/PS/
I used to do this craft with the different Sunday School classes I taught, and it was a big hit.
Materials:
A Big sheet of paper (your choice of size really)
All different colors of tissue paper
Markers or crayons
Glue or glue sticks
Scissors
Instructions:
Have the children draw a picture of a tree, with bare branches, and ground--and whatever else they'd like in the picture. (If the children you are working with, are too young to do this, then have the pictures drawn ahead of time for them.)
Cut the colored tissue paper into any size square--it's been a while since I have done this project--but I think 2" by 2" will work fine. (Again, you might want to have this done ahead of time too, depending on the age of the children.)
I think glue sticks will work fine for this project. So, have them dab the glue in different places on the picture--some on the tree, some falling to the ground, and some on the ground.
Then take the squares of tissue paper--1 at a time--crinkle it up--and put it on the glue spots.
There you have it--a nice picture of autumn leaves.
