Easy-to-do, picture book-inspired papercraft tree art bulletin board project. Woodland creratures are included in the art activity.

_______

This bright tree art bulletin board is inspired by the stunning storybook called “The Wind and the Trees” by Todd Stewart. I discovered the book at a local library and instantly fell in love with the tender story and vibrant illustrations. The picture book provided just the inspiration I was looking for to redo a bulletin board begging for a change.

In the storybook, an old pine tree teaches a young sapling about the benefits and dangers of wind. Over the course of the story, the old pine weakens and deteriorates and the young sapling slowly grows bigger. By the end of the story, a storm wind has knocked the old tree down, and a seedling soon takes its place.

The vivid silkscreen illustrations in this heartwarming children’s book show the same scene on each page in different weather, seasons, and times of the day. Tree trunks, needles, and skies are designed in beautiful, varying color schemes. Woodland animals are included subtly in silhouette form on many of the pages.

_______

As I am accustomed to doing an art-themed bulletin board using the same tree in different seasons or times of day, I soon realized that drawing inspiration from the color combinations in the book would work nicely for a new tree art bulletin board. The tree art design is easy to replicate in a space you have available.

_______

A selection of quality sturdy paper and a few other supplies are needed for this woodland papercraft project. Gather the following:

  • tree template
  • 9-inch x 12-inch fade-resistant construction paper in a variety of colors
  • cardstock in an array of colors
  • glitter cardstock
  • glue stick
  • paper punches
  • woodland animal stickers
  • pencil and scissors

_______

Preparing The Tree Art Craft

To plan out this tree art bulletin board, decide on a few different color schemes. I chose eight, but you can easily go with four. View the picture book “The Wind and the Trees” by Todd Stewart for color palette ideas.

Select a background color, tree trunk hue, and leaf colors for each tree art design. Use the paper choices you have available to pick color combinations.

Tip: Acid-free or fade-resistant paper is worth investing in for papercraft projects. The colors stay bright much longer.

_______

Use two different-sized heart paper punches to create leaves. A few metallic paper leaves add a little glitz and are often children’s favorite collage pieces to use.

Note: The tree in the picture book is a pine. I chose a deciduous tree for my designs because its leaves work well for collage projects.

Next, glue a tree trunk to each background piece of paper.

Afterward, invite children to affix heart leaves to their trees using a glue stick.

More About “The Wind and the Trees” Picture Book

In addition to being an inspiration for art projects, this gorgeous picture book by Todd Stewart is perfect for a tree or nature theme. Through colorful pictures and wisdom-filled print, it communicates the life cycle of trees. It also shares the following details about how wind benefits and hurts trees:

How The Wind Benefits Trees

  • tree roots grow deeper
  • tree bark becomes stronger
  • messages and signals are carried from one tree to another
  • seeds are scattered so new trees can grow

The Dangers Of Wind To Trees

  • roots are stretched
  • tree trunks and branches dry
  • older trees get knocked down

Lastly, the pictures also depict a variety of woodland animals for children to spot and name, such as bats, owls, squirrels, bees, eagles, a raccoon, and a porcupine.

This mini candy cane tree experiment is a must-try. Just three supplies are needed for the simple science activity everyone will love.

_______

This candy cane tree experiment is easy to set up and is sure to be a conversation piece. It works well as a Christmas science activity, and also fits a forest theme.

_______

Follow me on Pinterest for more early learning ideas.

_______

Supplies To Collect

_______

For this simple science experiment, gather the following four supplies:

  • package of mini candy canes
  • one round striped candy
  • large flat white or cream-colored plate
  • flask of warm water

    _______

    The Candy Cane Tree Experiment

    Design a tree on a plate with mini candy canes. Pour water into the plate and watch what happens. Your audience will be wowed!

    _______

    To perform this showy science experiment, start by arranging mini candy canes on a plate in a Christmas/coniferous tree design. The colorful and fruity candy canes above were a great find at a Dollar Store.

    Next, set a round candy on top of the tree to be the tree topper.

    Then fill a flask with warm water.

    Carefully set the plate with the tree design on a table.

    Now the experiment is ready to be performed. Invite participants to gather around the candy tree. Slowly pour water from the flask into the plate and invite everyone to watch what happens. It’s that simple!

    Participants will be wowed at how the colors in the candy canes quickly spread through the water, making beautiful designs.

    Watch the colors explode from the candy cane tree in this super simple science experiment everyone will love.

    _______

    Color changes will be instant. Over time the colors and their intensity will change.

    Watch the colors move and change in this super simple science experiment everyone will love. The activity is a must-try.

    _______

    Note: This tree-shaped experiment can be done with standard-sized candy canes in a large ridged serving tray.

    _______

    The Science Behind The Candy Cane Tree Experiment

    The candy canes are made of sugar. The water breaks the sugar molecules apart. Then the food colors move through the water from areas of higher sugar concentration (near the candy) to areas with less sugar (the center and rim of the tray.) When the sugar concentration is the same in all areas, the colors stop moving.

    Water temperature is a variant in this experiment. Sugar dissolves more quickly in warm water, and food coloring moves at a faster pace.

    Candy Cane Color Experiment Variations

    Watch the stunning color changes in this super simple mini candy cane science experiment. Try it today!

    _______

    You can forgo making a tree shape with the candy canes, and spread a few around a plate instead. The color movement is just as interesting in this more basic version.

    _______

    This simple monochromatic Christmas tree art is completed in four different color themes. The art activity is easy to implement at home or in a Christmas art program. Finished projects display beautifully on a bulletin board or feature wall.

    The color theme chosen for this gorgeous art activity is inspired by the exquisite pastel-colored miniature Christmas tree ornaments spotted on shopping trips around town this holiday season.

    _______

    Follow me on Pinterest for more early learning activities.

    _______

    Supplies To Collect

    Just a few supplies are needed for this pretty craft:

    • 12 x 18-inch sturdy paper
    • magenta, yellow, teal, green, and white tempera paints
    • glitter in magenta, teal, gold, and green colors
    • large magenta, gold, teal, and light green gift bows
    • paint palettes
    • paint pots
    • paintbrushes
    • spoons
    • ruler
    • pencil
    • scissors
    • hot glue gun or white glue
    • plastic tablecloth

    _______

    Preparing The Tree Art Project

    This monochromatic Christmas tree art project is done in pastel shades of green, yellow, teal, and magenta. The trees look beautiful on display.

    _______

    First, select 12 x 18-inch sturdy paper for the art project. I used manila and manila tag and both kinds worked well.

    With a ruler and pencil, draw a long, narrow triangle on each sheet of paper. The triangles should fill the whole page.

    Next, cut the paper triangles out.

    Then mix a variety of shades of magenta, yellow, teal, and green tempera paint in small pots by adding various amounts of white to each color. For each hue, the shades should range from light to dark.

    Tips:

    • To warm up the yellow just a little, add a drop of red to the hues.
    • To make teal paint, mix a little yellow into blue paint. Or use teal tempera paint straight out of the bottle.

    Afterward, spoon different shades of each color into paint palettes. Each palette should have shades of one hue only. Include a little white tempera.

    _______

    The Monochromatic Christmas Tree Art Process

    This monochromatic Christmas tree art project is done in pastel shades of green, yellow, teal, and magenta. The trees look beautiful on display.

    _______

    To offer this tree painting project, cover an art table with a plastic tablecloth.

    Choose one monochromatic color scheme to work with.

    Then set out a triangular-shaped paper tree, filled paint palette, and brush for each child participating.

    Invite participants to paint their tree, using as many shades of the chosen color as they can.

    When the trees are fully covered and the paint is still wet, let little artists sprinkle similarly toned glitter on their projects. They will love this part of the process.

    After the paint has dried, use white glue or a hot glue gun to affix a matching gift bow to the top of each tree. As an alternative, glue silver or gold bows on the trees.

    On another day, pick a different paint color and offer the Christmas tree painting project again.

    If there is time, complete the tree art in all four colors.

    Include this simple monochromatic Christmas tree art project in your holiday activities. The pastel-themed trees look beautiful on display.

    _______

    When finished, display the painted trees together on a wall. They are sure to be admired!

    Note: The paint colors used for this art project also make awesome ombre Christmas trees.

    Color Explosion Science Experiment

    January 1, 2021 by Annette Kaminsky Leave a Comment

    A simple color explosion science experiment with dramatic results. Just three kitchen supplies are needed to carry out this experiment.
    A simple color explosion science experiment with dramatic results. Just three kitchen supplies are needed to carry out this experiment.

    _______

    This dramatic color explosion science experiment is one of the simplest ones you will find. It uses ingredients you probably have in your home, is easy to set up, and shows stunning, instant results.

    _______

    Supplies To Collect

    • serving tray
    • milk
    • food coloring (1 – 4 colors)
    • liquid dish soap
    Kitchen supplies to carry out the color explosion milk experiment.

    _______

    Conducting The Experiment

    Pour a thin layer of milk into a serving tray placed on a table. I use an inexpensive 12-inch x 12-inch tree-shaped vegetable tray to add interest to the experiment. About three cups of milk will provide a nice layer in a serving tray this size.

    Squeeze drops of food coloring in different parts of the tray. Use one, two, three, or even four colors. Primary colors work well.

    Squirt a little dish soap in a few color pools.

    _______

    Pools of food coloring in the color explosion milk experiment.

    _______

    The food coloring immediately explodes to the tray edges, blending and making new colors.

    Try adding a bit more food coloring, and one more squirt of dish soap. I add a little more blue, red, and yellow to the bottom right section because most of the color has moved to other areas of the tray. I squirt a tad more soap on top. There isn’t a noticeable change right away. In fact, after the initial color burst, nothing much seems to happen.

    A second dose of food coloring and dish detergent are added in this color explosion milk experiment.

    _______

    But wait! The experiment doesn’t end here. Leave the tray on the table undisturbed, and check back a few times over the next half-hour. The food coloring slowly moves through the milk and fills the tray.

    Each time you look, new color designs are visible on the surface of the milk.

    A monster appears in this color explosion milk experiment.

    _______

    Gradually, the whole tray is color-infused.

    Red, blue, yellow, and green colors fill the tray in this color explosion milk experiment.

    _______

    This color explosion science experiment is perfect for introducing to a group of early learners. At preschool, I like to set it out just before snack time and have students take a second look at what has happened after they are done eating. Then everyone has another look at the tray just before going home.

    _______

    Color Explosion Experiment Take Two

    In the above demonstration of the science project, I use 2% milk. Below, I show the results of the same experiment done with 1% milk. This time I add drops of color and a squirt of dish soap only once. The food coloring added is generous.

    Food coloring pools in the color explosion milk experiment.

    _______

    In checking back in ten minutes after the initial explosion, the color has moved away from the edge of the tray towards the center.

    Bright colors start to spread from the edges of the tray in this color explosion milk experiment.

    _______

    In twenty minutes the tray looks like this:

    Color spreads on the surface of a milk filled tray after dish detergent and fat molecules bond. The food coloring shows the movement of the molecules.

    _______

    The colors spread further.

    Bright colors take over in this color explosion milk experiment.

    _______

    Finally, they settle in pastel shades.

    Pastel colors settle in this color explosion milk experiment.

    _______

    Tip: Save milk that has expired for this experiment. I successfully use milk five weeks past the expiration day for this second demo.

    _______

    The Science Behind The Color Explosion Experiment

    Although milk is made of mostly water, it also contains fat and protein. These are both sensitive to changes in the milk. When dish soap is added to the tray, it breaks up the surface tension of the milk and is attracted to the fat molecules. The fat molecules try to scurry away but end up bonded with the soap molecules. The movement of the food coloring makes this process visible. As more and more soap and fat molecules bond, the color movement slows down and eventually stops.

    Since fat content in milk is super important in this experiment, homo milk works the best. But as seen above, 2% and 1% milk (which I had handy) also show stunning results.

    This festive Christmas tree decorating center for early learners features mini trees and child-friendly, nonbreakable decorations.

    _______

    This Christmas tree decorating center has been a staple in my preschool classroom for many years. I introduce it every year in place of setting up a large Christmas tree. The center is effortless to put up, and the supplies store in one tub. During the festive holiday season, decorations on the tree get put up and taken down by little learners on a regular basis.

    In preparation for this tactile center I purchased a variety of small Christmas trees one year just after Christmas Day. They were deeply discounted…around $5.00 Canadian per tree. Now every December I place them on a table covered with a soft white tablecloth and add child-friendly decorations.

    _______

    Setting Up The Christmas Tree Decorating Center

    After arranging the branches on the Christmas trees, I gather small baskets and fill them with non-breakable Christmas decorations.

    _______

    When the tree art is dry, spray on unscented hairspray from an aerosol can to help the stars stay on. (This is the first year I searched for unscented hairspray to use as a fixative. It was worth the time and slightly greater expense.)

    Lastly, have your little learners pick a Christmas gift bow to stick on top of their tree.

    A Christmas gift bow is the topper for this painted Christmas tree craft.

    _______

    Discussing triangle shapes, using beautiful finishing touches, seeing how white added to darker green makes different shades, and noticing how yellow lightens and brightens green are some learning possibilities for this craft.

    And these Christmas tree art projects look absolutely beautiful displayed together.
