It’s Cherry Blossom time in Macon, Georgia! The birds are
chirping outside my window and the sun is trying to come out. Spring must be
coming soon.
I haven’t seen any cherry blossom buds yet. Have you?
I do have an easy art project for drawing cherry blossom
trees with the little ones.
All you will need is a small sheet of watercolor paper or
construction paper, a brown and a pink crayon or oil pastel, and an 8-color
watercolor box with a paintbrush.
First place a pad of paper on your workspace. Now lay the
watercolor paper on top. Coloring with crayons or oil pastels is easier and
smoother if done on top of a padded surface.
Directions:
Lay the free hand and wrist on the watercolor paper. Trace
around the free hand and wrist with the brown crayon or oil pastel. Color the
hand and wrist brown. This makes the tree trunk and limbs.
Draw crooked lines from the limbs (fingers) to make tree
branches with the brown crayon or oil pastel.
Draw and color small pink circles with the pink crayon or
oil pastel to make cherry blossoms.
Paint the sky with blue watercolor.
Let it dry and mount on construction paper or poster board.
This is an easy project for all ages. For another easy
