Thanksgiving is a time for family, friendship and being thankful for everything you have in life! So it's the perfect time of year to grab all your kids, grab your art supplies and get crafting.

When I was told I had a bulletin board in my Sunday School Room to decorate I was so excited to say the least!! I had 500 ideas running through my head all at once. It was all I could think about for days. I finally settled on this and I think it turned out pretty cute. I plan do doing pumpkins in October, turkeys in November and snowmen/angels in December. I also plan on changing the leaves as the seasons change.

After letting the cardboard roll dry, I drew the top of a tree shape in pencil above it and we scrunched up tissue paper squares and glued them down inside

Autumn Tree: Cut the tree from a paper grocery bag. Glue it onto a large sheet of construction paper. Create leaves by tearing autumn colored construction paper into pieces. Glue the torn pieces on the tree and around the base. This is a great craft for very young groups if you precut the trees. The paper tearing is the fun part!
