May can be a weird month here in Minneapolis. We had snow last week but now everything is green and the trees are blooming. I hope spring is finally here to stay. To celebrate the changing of seasons, we created a 4 season tree craft. This is a good craft for little kids who love to practice their scissors cutting skills. I know my boys love using their scissors and their glue.
If you’re looking for a variation of the 4 season tree craft and you’re willing to throw in the mix a fun craft material like cotton balls, then take a peek at this four season tree craft.

4 SEASON TREE CRAFT : SPRING
Step 1: Use a small bowl to draw a circle on the green cardstock and cut it out.
Step 2: Cut strips of green and pink paper and glue them into circles.
Step 3: Use the scissors to make one small cut at the top of the paper roll. The cut should be about 1/2 in long. Make a second one on the other side of the roll. Slide the cardstock circle through the two slots. You don’t need to use glue to secure it.
Step 4: Glue the paper leaves on both sides of the green cardstock. Make sure you use the same number of leaves on each side so that the tree looks balanced.
Step 5: Cut tiny strips of green and pink paper and glue them at the bottom of the tree to make it look like spring grass with flowers.
