Instructions
- Preparation is Key: Start by printing our free tree printable template. This will serve as the beautiful canvas for your child's masterpiece.
- Create Your Magical Brush: Grab a straw and, using the scissors, cut one end of it into four equal parts. Gently bend these parts backward to create a star-like shape. Voila, your magical brush is ready! Repeat this with as many straws as you have paint colors. (You can always use a single straw and mix the colors for a whirlpool of autumn hues!)
- Dive into the Colors: It's time to summon the autumn palette! Pour your fall paints into shallow dishes or a paper plate. Dip the star-shaped end of your straw into a paint color of your choice.
- Let’s Paint: Bring the dipped straw to your paper where the tree template awaits. Press the straw onto the branches of the tree to create vibrant leaves. Feel free to mix and match colors, giving your tree a full, rich canopy of fall foliage.
