We love having simple art projects set up for when our kids most need them (think – after school, before dinner, while younger siblings nap). This one isn’t on the cheat sheet of activities, but rather incorporates a few different art materials and techniques such as washi tape artsimple printmaking, and collage for kids.

This Autumn tree art project is super simple but a lot of fun. And kids of all ages will enjoy making trees with washi tape!

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Create your tree

    First, use colored masking tape to create your trees. Feel free to use any colors you’d like! Trees don’t have to be brown or gray.

  2. Collect leaves

    Go on a leaf hunt and gather all the different small leaves you can find. Get out your stamp pads, too!

  3. Stamp leaves!

    Press your leaf into the stamp pad, and then press it onto your washi tape tree. Leaves with texture, like sage leaves, will make great prints!

    You can also glue some of your leaves onto your tree.
