Autumn is officially here and it's time to make the house look warm and cozy with the colors of the season. I love to decorate with original art by my son so a new project begins!
What you will need:
- A picture of a tree with bare branches
- 12x12 fall themed paper
- Tape
- 5 Autumn inspired colors of finger paint
- Disposable plate
Step 1:
Print out or draw a tree with bare branches on a sheet of paper. I decided to go the quick way and print out a few from my computer's clip art. Tape the sheet down in front of your artist so it doesn't slip away from them.
Step 2:
Grab a disposable paper plate and put five dots of color on it as shown in the picture above. You won't need much of each color, about a dime size of each will do.
Step 3:
Have your artist take their pointer finger and dip it into one color. Place dots of color around the bare branches of the tree. Wipe their finger clean and repeat with each color. When they finish it should look similar to the pictures below.
Step 4:
After your tree dries add a little more flare by taping the picture to a large sheet of Autumn themed paper (12x12). Once completed your master piece is ready to hang in a place of honor. I hope you have as much fun as we did!
