Thumbprint Tree

ages 2-5

Supplies

Paper (brown construction & a light color like white), stamp pads (green or variety of fall colors), soap to wash hands when done!

Activity Detail

This is a fun art project for little ones! To get ready, cut out a tree trunk and branches on brown construction paper and glue it to a light colored piece of paper. Then, take your child's thumb (or let your child do this part herself) and put it on a green ink pad. Next, let your child begin putting thumbprints all over the branches to add leaves to the tree. (Note: If your child is learning about letters, you can also talk about how thumb and tree both begin with the letter T.)
