Autumn Tree Q-Tip Painting – Free Printable Craft Activity for Kids

I put this autumn tree poem printable together last year when we were homeschooling for Kindergarten, and I think I enjoyed it as much as my girls did. There is just something really calming about painting Fall leaves like this. This would be a great Fall craft activity for preschool, kindergarten, or first grade. And it fits perfectly with our Autumn Tree nature study theme this week! I printed the page on cardstock and then glued it to a piece of construction paper. Then we just dotted our papers with paint to represent the Fall leaves.  The best part about this craft activity is that it also works on those fine motor skills that are so important for handwriting. I’ll share a free printable at the end of this post so that you can do this with your kids too.

Resources:

• Tempera paint
• White cardstock
