Seasonal Tree-3D Bulletin Board

I originally posted my Seasonal Tree-3D Bulletin Board in the fall. I have been since adding to the images of the tree, but it does not bring it to the top of the news feed each season.  To see all the seasons, click on the link above for the original post.

Here I will post a tutorial how we made our spring blossoms.

I will give you the directions as I gave the students:

1. Put up your pointer finger.

2. Take a square of tissue paper and  put your pointer in the middle

3. Wrap the tissue paper around the finger

4. Dip the paper and finger (tiny dot) in the glue

5. Touch your pointer finger to your flower, and hold.

6. Slowly back out.

7. Repeat.

Seasonal Tree-3D Bulletin Board

 I change the tree seasonally.  I feel children should be able to know what is going on in their world during the seasons and what it means for us. The trunk is made of crumpled up brown paper.  It came in the large rolls.  The branches are held up on the ceiling with fishing line and the ceiling hooks you can buy at any school supply store.   The children do the decorating in multi-media techniques.



For the fall leaf, I cut out the leaves on the Cricut.  I then had the children sponge paint the fall colors on the leaves.

For the winter, the students will decorate snowflakes with glitter.

 
For the Spring, the students will decorate little flower blossoms with the pinched tissue paper dipped in glue technique.











For the Summer leaves, they will do some sort of printing on a green leaf, possibly printing with real leaves on the leaf for a textured, vein look.  I will post the other season pictures as the seasons come.
