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!
