Tissue Paper Apple Tree Craft

We love making crafts using different types of materials! This tissue paper apple tree craft is a fun 3D project for the kids to make during an apple unit. They look super cute hanging in the classroom during the month of September.

Supplies you’ll need
each student will need
1 piece of green construction paper or card stock

A handful of green tissue paper squares
An empty toilet paper roll
A handful of red, green, or yellow pom poms to use as the apples.
Scissors
Glue

To make the tissue paper apple tree craft
First, have the students cut a piece of green paper for the grass. Have them make cuts down 3/4 of the way to the bottom of the paper so it makes it into 3d grass. Glue the grass on the blue paper.

Next, the students will need help cutting their toilet paper roll in half. They can choose to use half, or the whole thing depending on how tall they want their tree. Glue the toilet paper roll on the paper. Next, have the students put some glue on the paper where they want to put the leaves.

They’ll gently crumple up the pieces of tissue paper and add them to the tree as the leaves.

Last, they’ll add their apples on the tree using the glue. They can draw a picture on their craft at the end too if they choose.

You could even take it a step further after making the craft and turn it into a math project. You could use different colored pom poms, green, yellow, and red for the apples and then have the students count how many of each they used on their tree. Attach an additional slip of paper to the bottom of their craft and let them fill in their addition problem.

Seeing all of the apple trees hanging up is my favorite! I hope your students enjoy this craft!
See you next time!
