INSTRUCTIONS 1. Print out the tree template onto white cardstock or have kids draw their own tree.

2. Paint the tree with black acrylic paint and let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.

[{"selector":"#anim-68bfc5ac-9a19-46cd-af12-46b86bbec6ee","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3e03ed40-0446-4a39-b344-4f00c3047a48","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 271.50202%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-87b7c050-3644-401c-b14d-0946696cf163","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9b36d11-0d37-4166-9607-da4976054c0d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(93.33333%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f21fac41-c739-4c4f-b53e-a32da69b13d7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5ce7221f-d881-4167-9ac8-5b8a9a5b3a2b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Learn more

3. Decide on which tree you will be painting first and collect the acrylic paint colors that you need. Depending on the type of paint you have, you might need to thin it out a bit with water.

[{"selector":"#anim-f5961d03-79bb-4e93-b9ad-9568f34b42d8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0a4158e0-c606-4c8b-b484-c778bceb059b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 185.58921%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-60d7ca1a-845c-4c14-b0a5-38715513c0b1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d6a4013f-513b-4237-8b2e-0e19019c6e05","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(98.66667%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7c772003-34e3-483d-965d-c733b92ff1bb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c5d39c92-b5ef-410d-b694-51f5a848a161","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Learn more

4. Start with the lightest color, load up a medium-sized round brush with paint, and start splattering. You want the paint to splatter towards the top of the tree so it starts to look like leaves.
