MessA little messy

You need

  • Paper, glue and crayons
  • Pink tissue scraps, green paper, orange and red paper, cotton balls

Let's play

  1. Draw or trace four bare trees in a row.
  2. Spring: glue pink tissue blossoms.
  3. Summer: lots of green leaves. Fall: orange and red leaves, some on the ground.
  4. Winter: no leaves and cotton-ball snow!
Grown-up tip: Go outside and decide which of your trees looks most like today.
