Twelve bare trees, a pile of colorful leaves and a handful of acorns. This Montessori felt fall tree kit gives children aged 3 and up everything they need to "dress" their own autumn trees, placing red, orange, yellow and green leaves on the branches and tucking acorns at the bottom. There are no batteries, sounds or screens, just soft felt pieces, little hands and a lot of quiet concentration.
WHY KIDS LOVE THIS FELT FALL TREE
- 96 pieces to play with: 12 felt trees in three shades of brown, 12 acorns and 72 leaves in six different shapes, so there is plenty to share between siblings or friends.
- Fine motor practice: picking up a small leaf and placing it exactly where they want it builds the pincer grip and hand control children later use for buttons, zips and pencils.
- Colors, shapes and sorting: maple, oak and round leaves in autumn colors give you easy ways to talk about colors, compare shapes and sort by type.
- Open-ended and creative: there is no right way to finish a tree. Every child's tree looks a little different, and they can start again as often as they like.
- A seasonal nature activity: it ties in nicely with collecting real leaves on an autumn walk, then coming home to build a tree of their own.
- Soft and quiet: lightweight felt pieces make it a calm table activity for rainy afternoons, classrooms and play dates.
HOW TO PLAY WITH IT AT HOME
In a Montessori play space, less is more. Put one tree on the table with a small tray of leaves and acorns, place two or three leaves yourself slowly, then let your child take over. Don't worry if the branches end up overloaded. Once your child has the idea, try these:
- Sort the leaves: make little piles by color or by shape before you start.
- Count and place: roll a die or pick a number, then add that many leaves to the tree.
- Falling leaves: take the leaves off one by one and talk about why trees lose their leaves in the fall.
- Family forest: give everyone their own tree and see how different they all look.
FELT FALL TREE KIT FAQS
What age is this felt tree kit for?
It is for children aged 3 and up. The leaves and acorns are small felt pieces, so it is not suitable for babies or for children who still put things in their mouth. Supervise play and keep small pieces away from younger siblings.
What is included?
You get 96 felt pieces: 12 trees (4 dark brown, 4 medium brown and 4 light brown), 12 acorns and 72 leaves (12 each of six leaf shapes and colors).
How big are the trees?
Each felt tree is about 6.6" x 9" (16.8cm x 23cm), so it works well on a table, a felt board or a classroom display.
How do I clean it?
Spot clean with a slightly damp cloth and let the felt air dry. Do not machine wash.
