By , About.com Guide

Learn how to trace your arm and use colored pop corn to make this neat tree full of blossoms.

  • Age Guideline: 3 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 45 minutes (Does not include drying time)

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

 

Materials Needed:

Instructions:
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 (you can also use paint or markers).

Place a couple or teaspoons of red, pink, or yellow powdered tempera paint into a plastic sandwich bag. Put a couple of handfuls of popped popcorn into the bag and shake it so the popcorn is colored. Make as many different colors as you like. Glue the colored popcorn onto the tree branches to make the blossoms.
