Natrue Craft: Stamped Circles Tree | Home Learning Art & Craft Project Activity
In this post, I will be sharing a "tree" craft. This was a craft art project that Lauren did in Brightly Beaming Resources' (Step 3: Sound of the Week) homeschool curriculum for the "ee" sound as in "tree", Click Here To Find Out Why We Are Doing Homeschooling.

I thought about doing a tree by putting the mouth of a small bottle into a stamp pad then stamping the ink all over the trunk branches to create circles of leaves making up a whole tree.

STEPS IN DOING THIS TREE CRAFT
STEP #1: Let child glue background pieces that should be glued before the trunk on a construction paper. Next, let child glue trunk on paper.
STEP #2: Next, let child lightly press mouth of a bottle onto a stamp pad then let child stamp circles all around branches of trunk. Repeat the process until there are enough circles all over the trunk branches completing the whole tree. Let ink dry up.
STEP #3: When the ink has dried up, let child color inside the circles using crayons or oil pastel colors. After coloring, let child glue other background details they like such as clouds, sun, grass, etc.

LEARNING IS MORE FUN WITH A SONG
A great classic song about trees that you can sing along or watch with your kids is this song "Pretty Dancing Trees" with nice tune and lyrics about the beauty of trees as they dance and sway with the breeze.
