Arm Print Apple Trees

"The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
So we sat in the house
All that cold, cold, wet day." - Cat in the Hat by Dr. Suess

SO...we had time to do this classic! 

• Have child sign and date their paper (easier to do first)
• Mix brown paint (if you don't have it, I don't):                                                                                 1/3 yellow to 2/3 red to dab of blue
• Palate green paint and red paint
• Have child paint their forearm brown and hand green

• Stamp onto appropriate sized paper

• Have child paint their other hand green and stamp in the white parts to fill in
• Have child do finger print stamps of red and/or yellow for apples
