Draw a colorful picture of a tree on butcher paper. Cut the picture in three or four pieces and tape the pieces to individual soft blocks. The children should be able to put the tree together by stacking the blocks in order. Once they build the tree, they can put on construction hats and pretend to be lumber jacks. Using half of a pool noodle, demonstrate how to chop down the tree by swinging at the blocks. Yell, "Timber!" as the tree falls down. Encourage the children to continue to build the tree and chop it down again.
