Five for Friday/Fall Fun/Fundraiser

 {1} Fun Fall Dot Trees

I love how these turned out!

We made this a two day project in order to make the trees really full.  It took a bit of diligence, but I am so proud of my kinders for sticking with it. They were so excited with the results!

These three steps are what we did the first day. We started out by tracing a paper plate on 12"X18" paper.  Next, we painted the "Y" shape. Then, a "v" on each branch. We used different brush sizes, only because we had them, but it is not necessary. Using a Q-tip, we simply dipped into some brown tempera paint, made random dots within the circle and a few under the tree. On the second day, we added the red, orange and yellow dots.
