Season Pictures

For this lesson we created a tree using our hand/wrist to create the trunk and branches on a brown piece of colored construction paper. After tracing our hand/wrist we cut out our tree and placed it on our choice of colored construction paper. We then got to choose if we were going to make a fall tree using warm colors, or a winter tree. Crinkling tissue paper and adding cotton balls and glitter we decorated our trees to match our selected season. My tree was a winter tree so I used cotton balls for clouds and white tissue paper for my tree leaves. The tree in our project was meant to represent emphasis as well as it was the main area of focus.

Extension Activity
As an extension to this activity you could talk about animals that migrate, hibernate, or stay put during the winter.
