Servings: 0
Ingredients
- Colored construction paper
- Craft sticks
- Black and yellow markers
- White cardstock
- Glue
Instructions
- Prepare the Truffula Treetops: Trace the bottom of a paper cup or bowl and cut out as many circles in different colored construction paper as there are letters in your child's name. These circles will become the fluffy Truffula tree tops.
- Make Them Fluffy: Make small slits around the edges of each circle to mimic the fluffy appearance of Truffula tree tops. Bend the edges slightly for extra texture.
- Add the Letters: On each circle, write a letter from your child's name. For younger kids, drawing dots for them to trace the letters can be helpful. Older kids might enjoy writing the letters themselves.
- Create the Trunks: Color the craft sticks with yellow markers. Then, use the black marker to draw line markings similar to the trunks of the Truffula trees in the book.
- Assemble the Trees: Glue the circles onto a sheet of white cardstock to spell out your child's name. Attach the sticks underneath each circle to complete the trees.
- Finish with a Touch of Green: Cut a rectangle from green construction paper, the same length as your cardstock, and make slits at the top to resemble grass. Glue this at the bottom of your cardstock.
