I'll blame my lack of posting on our move this summer. I'm sure I've done a few things, but wow, May since I've posted anything. Sorry guys.
So we did this yesterday after school and before dinner. Extremely quick. Took me longer to find the orange paint than to make it. You need a canvas. I think my is 10x14 or about that size. I used brown, yellow, red and orange paint. I did try to make my own orange from the red and yellow and it looked more like a dark pinkish ugly color so I had to dig to find orange.
I painted the trunk and then the kiddos hands. We first did yellow on one hand and red on the other. Then added the orange on top of the yellow hand. The kids had fun and liked the way the paint brush tickled. Oh and the fallen leaves are just their finger tips in paint. With a few stray falling leaves.
If your kiddos are bored and need a quick art project, this was extremely easy. I really think it took me longer to wash the paint off their hands than to paint the picture.
