Recycled Treasures - Apple Tree Craft for kids

Our theme for the month of September is "apples", so our momstown Milton kids had a fun morning creating apple tree crafts at our Recycled Treasures program!  It was a gorgeous morning so we spent our time in the back yard.

The trees were made from recycled cardboard, and paper towel tubes, and decorated with red and green buttons.

The kids had fun painting their trees green.  Now that it is back to school season, our group of artists seems a little younger than before!  Regardless of their age, these little ones loved getting their hands dirty and painting.

The trees were then decorated with the colourful buttons.

 

Moms helped with the cutting of the paper towel tubes, and once the paint was dry, the little ones helped to assemble their trees, taping them to paper plates so they would stand on their own.

The kids were proud of their beautiful creations, and enjoyed having their pictures taken holding their trees.

When it was time for a snack, we had some delicious apples (recently picked at a local orchard!), crackers, veggies and hummus.  As usual the moms wondered at how quiet this rambunctious group became once the snack arrived!

We would love to see you at our next Recycled Treasures group!
