Step 2:
With the tacky glue or hot glue, bind the seams of the two arm cut-outs, leaving the bottom seam open. Allow the glue to dry.

Once the glue dries, stuff the handprint “tree” with polyester stuffing. Seal the bottom seam with hot glue or tacky glue. Allow to dry.
Step 4:
Place your preschooler’s hand on the red, yellow and orange felt squares. Trace his/her hands and then cut out. Do this as many times as the space on the felt squares will allow.
Step 5:
Glue the cut out felt hand-shaped autumn “leaves” all around the “branches” (fingers) of the stuffed tree, letting them flop over each other. Allow the glue to dry and then enjoy playing with this fun preschool stuffed autumn tree!
