Cut a piece of brown bulletin board paper into several 12\" to 16\" sections. Lightly crumble the sections to create a texture look then attach them to the board, one of top of the other, to create the trunk of the tree. [NOTE: For a more three-dimensional look, add pieces of scrunched tissue paper behind the paper to make the trunk pop out from the board.] Cut smaller sections of the brown paper, crumbling and twisting them to create 'branches', and attach them to the trunk. Finally, finish off the tree by adding tissue paper 'blooms' and your students' circle 'leaves'! 2) The Birdhouse. Use construction paper to fashion a birdhouse. If you want a more detailed element, you might consider looking through some clip art for ideas\/templates. However, Molly's simple shape birdhouse (basically a square, triangle, and heart) does the trick and it would be super easy to make! 3) The Extras.
