How to make it
1Draw the trunk
Lightly sketch a trunk with a branch for each of your children.
2Paint the trunk
Paint the trunk and branches brown. Let it dry 20 minutes.
3List the family
Write a list of everyone who belongs on the tree, by branch.
4Print the leaves
Each person presses a green-painted thumb on their branch. You can add prints for absent family too.
5Write the names
Write a name beside each leaf with a fine marker once it's dry.
6Add a title
Paint your family name and a date at the bottom. Frame it.
Leave room on the branches for future grandkids and great-grandkids. You can add them later.
