Fall Branch Mobile

I love the smell of Fall… Especially the smell of the fallen leaves and the cool air! Last week we statred a fun Fall craft… A brach mobile with dangling leaves! So pretty! Wanna make one?

What you’ll need:
✏ Cardstock
✏ Yellow, red & green paint
✏ Tray & Sponges
✏ Yarn
✏ Branches
✏ Hole puncher
✏ Scissors
✏ Pencil


Instructions:
① Apply paint onto a piece of cardstock using sponges (lightly dab). Use fall colours such as yellow, red, orange, green, brown. ② Once dry, cut up your painting into fall leaves (we used stencils and asked the older students to trace them) ③ Punch a hole into each leaf and attach to a piece of yarn.  Note that You can put multiple leaves on one strand. ④ Tie every strand to a brach. then tie the ends of one piece of yarn to each end of the brach, so that you can hang you mobile on a nail or a doorknob! You’re done!
