Apple Tree Art

During the month of September we have been learning a lot about apples and apple trees. One of our art projects was to make apple trees using sponge painting. We tore out the trunks for each tree from brown scrap paper and glued them down first. Then with green tempra paint and small pieces of sponge we painted grass and leaves. Last we used some red tempra with a different sponge to create the apples. The sponges were great because they kept all the little fingers cleaner than normal.
