This was a quick and simple painting to make. We painted a baby's foot brown, and stamped it 3 times onto our paper. Then we added small dots of green and red paint to make the leaves of the tree and flowers. Finally we drew in some grass as a base for the painting and mounted it on green construction paper.

Directions: Trace hand down to the wrist onto the paper. At the webbing between each finger draw a line down to the bottom of the paper. Next, add curved lines across the tree from trunk all the way to the top of each branch (finger). Add leaves to the tree. Use crayons or colored pencils to color in tree and to add details around the tree such as grass and a sun. Trace over lines with a marker.

Here's a fun narration of the story;Make your own tree
Supplies Needed; Paper towel roll, green construction paper, scissors, glue and foam letters
Directions; Cut construction paper into strips about an inch wide. Put a ring of glue inside the edge of the paper towel roll. Put the ends of the strips into the end of the paper towel roll, and allow to dry. Once dry, glue letters as desired. 
This was a lot of fun. We used a Starbucks cup sleeve and the label cut from a coffee cup to create our own recycled art palm tree. We cut the sleeve into sections, then glued and overlapped them to create the tree trunk. We then made arched cuts to the logo (see example below), and glued them to the top of our tree trunk.
Print out the template below, and allow children to decorate as they desire. Consider pairing this art with your favorite book about trees.
