Season Trees


Along with apple trees we have also been learning about the four seasons. This project took a few days but came out very nice. Each child created four handprints using brown tempra paint to be the trunk and branches of the tree. After I labled the trees for them we worked on decorating our trees for each season. Winter has silver glitter added to represent snow. Spring has pink, white, and green tissue paper to show the apple blossems. I used liquid starch, applied with a paint brush, as a glue for the kids to places the tissue paper on. Summer has 2 shades of green tissue paper and construction paper apples. Fall has construction paper scraps in fall colors glued on.
