Fall Craft #2 ~ Arm Tree w/Fingerprint Leaves

by Carrie Wells, Ed.D.


Our Fall bulletin board is growing!
Materials:

  • brown paint
  • orange paint
  • yellow paint
  • red paint
  • small bowl
  • paintbrush
  • piece of construction paper, color of your choice
To make the tree trunk and branches: First, paint your child's forearm and hand with brown paint. Then place on paper.



To make the leaves: Swirl together orange, yellow, and red paint in a small bowl. Encourage your child to dip his/her fingers in the paint and use fingerprints to make leaves on the fall tree.

       


Kinda messy but lots of fun!
