Madison loves painting and gluing, so this craft is the perfect combination! I wanted something that we could easily mail to grandparents and this fit the bill!
Materials:
- construction paper in the color of your choice for the “trunk” of the tree
- white paper
- paint in various colors for the “leaves”
- assorted markers or crayons
- glue
Trace your child’s hand and arm for the branches and trunk of the tree.
Next, cut out the trunk and branches and glue them to the white paper.
Choose different colors of paint and have your child use their thumb or fingers to make “leaves.” Madison liked making the leaves all over the place. You can vary the colors based on the season you are creating.
For summer, use lots of different green colors. For fall, use browns, reds and yellows. For winter ,use a different color background like blue and do white snowflake prints. For spring, choose colors like pink, purple, green, and yellow!
If your child is a little older then they can draw different scenery, animals and clouds. Your child could also add stickers. We sent these to her grandparents and they loved them!
