Fall Tree Contact Paper Play

Minne-Mama is on Facebook! 'Like' us to stay updated on our fun crafts and activities! 
Thank you for stopping by! 


We have been enjoying some fall decorating around our house. We made Fun at Home with Kids beautiful leaf suncatchers and Skyler put up decals on his windows all on his own! It has been awhile since we had anything on our dining room window, so I decided it was time for a new contact paper play scene. You can see our Christmas Tree, Valentine Heart, Tissue Paper Rainbow, and Easter Egg Basket from past months.



Many trees have started changing colors around our house and we always talk about the colors as we walk or drive around. I knew Skyler would enjoy his own little tree to decorate. To make our contact paper tree, all I used was a piece of Contact Paper, a brown sharpie, scissors, tape, and fake fall leaves that I cut off a garland last year for our fall leaf sensory bin. This activity is incredible simple to set up and a fun seasonal way to play and decorate!


I started by drawing out the outline of a tree on the non-stick side of the contact paper. If I were to do this again, I would have colored in or painted the tree trunk and limbs. It is actually a lot easier to see when standing next to it, but it would look more festive if the tree could be more easily seen with or without leaves on it. 


After drawing the tree I peeled off the backing of the contact paper, held the non-stick side up to our door and taped the edges with the sticky side facing out. We were ready to play just minutes after starting! A very quick and fun activity for the last minute. I put the leaves into a bowl for Skyler and he happily started to decorate his tree.


Skyler also had fun making the leaves "fall" which we haven't seen this year yet, but we talk about it when we see the changing colors! It was cool because the leaves have to be pressed down pretty well for them to stick, so as he was playing the occasional leaf would fall to the ground - just like a real fall tree.

 

The sticky paper is fun to touch all on its own! Skyler went back to the contact paper tree throughout the afternoon and enjoyed playing with the leaves on their own and with his trucks as well. The set up was a cinch and I know he will have fun with this festive decoration for many days to come.

  20. We have talked with one of the Oily skin person Rosy. "My skin was so oily since childhood and it was really irritating for me. I can't be confident even while i go to party or else to a function, everyone stares at my oil skin and i have to feel the shy. This is where I came across the https://yugloskin.com  from the Yuglo skin where the https://yugloskin.com/products/face-oil  is one of the best products which makes my face very smooth, free from oil and looks so great. Since then I have become an evid fan of the natural skin care brand. Especially the Natural Ingredients makes the brand so unique because these days we are seeing so many chemicals used products. Even though, their results might be faster but in the long run, we are going to have issues while using such kind of brands. Hence I recommend Yuglo for any women who is looking for organic and natural products for their hair, face and skin".

    While when we got the opportunity to speak with one of the dry skin women Ily. Ily said "My skin was dry all the time and it is really frustrating experience for me, especially, I stay in the cold regions and when there is heavy cold, you can clear see the layers coming out from the lips and skin due to dryness, that is where i tried the https://yugloskin.com/products/lip-mask  from the Yuglo. I apply it at thee night time before i sleep and while i woke up in the morning, i am going to have a great and nice experience, My skin feels better and i also tried the  https://yugloskin.com/products/skincare-face-masks  from this organic brand. I applied it for a month and you don't and you don't believe me the results are fantastic. I am using both their Peach Lips mask and Face mask for the skin since past 2 years and i would love to try their new products as well in the future. Thanks to the yuglo skin for bringing such awesome products and great thing is they are available at an affordable pricing. It merely costs me $25 per month to try their products and have a healthy skin routine.

    Types of Products to improve Skin Care

    When it comes to the types of the products, there are so many people who are trying the natural face masks by seeing the youtube videos and improving their skin care. There are majorly three types of skins, one is oily, the other is dry and the third one is mixed. Especially those with Oily skin always suffer due to their face looks quiet odd due to the excess oil on their face and they feel so bad about it. 
    This is where the Organic products of skin care has come in handy for these kind of people. While people who are having a mixed dry and oily skin, not had to suffer much but still they can improve their skin tone using the Lip mask product from amazon. This product is bought by more than 100000+ happy customers and has an average rating of 4.5 with more than 5500 reviews. 

    They have products which are related to hair, face and lips. Especially their lip sleeping mask is the best seller and next comes, the face mask which is also quiet good seller for them. They also have face oil and new vanilla flavor for the lips, they want to become one of the top skin care brands in the future by solving all the issues related to the skin care. They also have the face moisturizer which is one of the best among the face moisturizers compared to others as those comes with the natural ingredients which everyone will love than compared to unnatural and chemical ingredients.
