Fall Tree Art

Here is a super easy art project that is the perfect decoration for the fall season!  Fall trees!


All you need is 12 x 18 light blue paper, brown paper for the trunk (I drew a trunk and copied it for students to cut), a half sheet of 9 x 12 green paper, saran wrap, and green, yellow, orange, red, & brown tempera paint.

Have the students cut out (longways) a curvy line for grass.  Glue to the bottom of the blue paper.  Then have them cut out the trunk and glue.  Then call them back to a separate table to squirt a little bit of all the paint colors above the trunk.  Then set a piece of saran wrap on top and have the kids smear it around.  Make sure to touch the trunk.  Take the saran wrap off and let dry.  Viola.  A simple, yet decorative, fall tree!

    I know this is unconventional but I am one of your followers, I have not been on in a while due to things going on within my school district that have made it hard to contribute. I wrote a post on my blog today briefly letting people know about what is going on. If you could stop by and read it and spread the word to ask others to read it I would appreciate it.
    Thank You With All The Love,
    Mrs. Schatz

    This is such a cute activity. I just found your blog. I too have two children (daughters) who are 7 and 5. It's hard to believe how fast they grow up.
    I also teach 2nd grade. I am looking forward to reading more about your classroom/teaching. Hopefully you'll have a chance to stop by my blog sometime.

    The decorations of the autumn themes are relevant in this period. The simple design and the small elements will help to achieve the desired result.
