Recycled Art Project For Kids – Fall Trees

recycled artwork fall tree craft for kidsI get a lot of questions about what I do with my children’s art work and my answer is usually that I take photos and recycle much of it. When I say I recycle art work I normally mean it gets popped into the recycling bin never to be seen again. This recycled art project for kids uses the art work and turns a finished piece into material for another art project. These fall trees are cute and simple enough for kids of various abilities to participate.

  1. Gather your materials. You will need some brown and white construction paper, glue stick, scissors, and finished artwork.autumn craft for kids
  2. Cut out a tree outline – I free handed this ( I can cut much better than I can draw) but you could draw it out first too.fall tree craft with collage leaves
  3. Glue the tree down on the white construction paper and if you have kids still learning to cut like mine cutting them into smaller pieces will help. fall tree recycled art craft for kids

    These are fantastic! I think we might add some red pom poms and make them apple trees!

    Love these! I wrote a post a couple years ago about how we recycle our art into a collage box that the kids can use independently. Such a great way to keep the art cycle going and not feel guilty for throwing away some of the more generic “masterpieces” of scribbles and paint swirls, but not quite special enough to keep.
