Earth Day: Paint a Tree...REALLY!














Thanks to Big and Little Art for this easy outdoor Earth Day fun.   Don't let the simplicity fool you -- kids will LOVE this.  It will not hurt the tree, will wash off in next big rainstorm, and will bring your child very close to nature on this special day. 

 Instructions:
 
1.  Dress child in stuff that's begging to be destroyed (or already has been destroyed).  
2.  Provide (non-toxic) tempera or poster paints, brushes, bucket o' water.  Point child in direction of Tree in Question.   
3.  Stand back.
4.  No, really... STAND BACK.  Fight the urge to direct, suggest, or otherwise control.
5.  (If you have so many great ideas, go paint your own tree!)
