i traced their hands & arms for the trees.
they decorated them with tissue paper leaves.
it was up to each child
how they wanted their leaves to look:
squares, little bunches, or cut leaf shapes.

i spread this project over 3 days:
day one,
i traced their hands onto brown paper.
{i cut them out at home.}
day two {the real "art day"},
the artists glued their trees onto pieces of "sky"
and added their fall leaves.
day three,
i mounted the finished artwork onto black paper
and had each artist sign their name
using white crayon.
~ voila! ~
