Apple Tree Craft
How to Make an Apple Tree Using a Hand Print

By , About.com Guide

Instructions for making a fun apple tree by tracing your arm.

Materials Needed:

  • Large Piece of Paper
  • Crayons
  • Red Paint

Instructions:
This is an easy craft idea! On the large piece of paper, trace your hand and forearm all the way up to your elbow. Make sure your fingers are spread apart. The tracing of your forearm will be the tree trunk and your fingers will be the branches! Color it in with brown crayons (or you could use paint of markers). Make leaves on your tree using crayons, markers, or paint.

Pour a little red paint on a paper plate, dip your finger in it, and then make fingerprints on the tree branches. You now have a tree full of apples!

For a little variety, make green or yellow apples. You can also make Autumn colored leaves on your trees.
