• pencil
• scissors
• paint brush

Directions:
1. Draw the outline of a tree top and cut out

2. Paint the toilet paper roll brown

3. Put some red paint and orange paint in shallow bowls

4. Dip your child's index finger in one of the bowls. Remove your child's finger and have your child place finger prints on the tree top. Repeat with the second bowl of paint
