Handprint Apple Tree

A simple way to make a cute hand print keepsake!
Materials:

• Washable paint
• Cardstock (or construction paper)
• Paintbrush (optional)
• Do-A-Dot markers, or small sponges, or paintbrush
• Munchkin hands :)
  

Steps:

1. Dip hands in brown paint. I sponge painted the hand after they dipped it, so it would cover the entire hand.
2. Wait for it to dry.
3. Do-a-dot or sponge paint the leaves on the tree (or finger paint).
4. Dry.
5. Use 1 finger to dot apples in the tree and around the bottom.

For older kids, or more detailed project:

You can make 4 trees, one tree for each season of an apple tree. You'd need a few more colors (pink, white, fall colors) for the different seasons. A good book to read is The Season's of Arnold's Apple Tree.
