Materials:

Washable kids paint (pink, white, red, purple)
Paper plate
Q-tips (for mixing paints if needed)
White cardstock
Brown cardstock
Craft scissors
Pencil
Sponge
Glue stick
Hot glue + glue sticks
Wooden peg doll

Instructions:

Begin by cutting out a heart from the sponge with the craft scissors. Make the heart about 1 inch wide.
Next, hot glue the sponge heart onto the wooden peg doll. THIS STEP IS FOR ADULTS ONLY.

Using the pencil, trace your child’s hand onto the brown paper and cut out. This will be the tree trunk.
Glue the tree trunk onto the white cardstock.
Now, place a little bit of each paint color onto a paper plate. I blended some colors to give me lighter pinks and purples.
Lastly (THE FUN PART!), dip the sponge heart stamp into the paint and them stamp onto the white cardstock to create a beautiful, heart tree!
