Here is what you need:
Red, Brown, Yellow, and Orange finger paint
A paint brush or sponge
Paper
A willing child
Have your child paint their hand and lower arm brown (or if they are unable to do this you certainly can help out). Then place their arm and hand on the paper to look like a tree with the branches.
Start with one of the remaining colors (red, yellow or orange) and use their finger tips to dot leaves on the top of the tree.
Finish with the remaining colors.
Ta-da...you have a pretty fall colored tree (and a keepsake of their hand print, make sure to date it!)

This is a cute idea. I will have to do this project with my 3 year old sometime this week.
ReplyDeleteWe did a tree similar to this too =-) We put apples on ours. I love hand art, don' you? Fun & a cute keepsake too. Thanks for sharing on TGIF Linky Party =-)
