Step 1: Glue pieces of colored tissue paper -- reds, oranges, and yellows for fall -- all over a sheet of brown construction paper.

Step 2: Using a white colored pencil, draw a fall shape on a piece of black construction paper. You might draw a tree, a pumpkin, a cornucopia, or a ghost. Cut the shape out.

Step 3: Glue the silhouette over the tissue paper. Make a frame out of black construction paper, and glue it over the picture.

Make other sheets with winter, spring,
and sum­mer colors, and use black silhouettes to make seasonal scenes on tissue paper.
