Q-Tip Painted Fall Trees - tree with falling leavesThe most beautiful part of fall is when the leaves begin to change colors. I think it is breathtaking! It is difficult to capture the beauty in a painting, but it's definitely fun to try. And in the classroom, a unique way to paint these fall trees is to use Q-Tips instead of brushes. It's a fun and easy activity for any age! As for adults, these trees can be painted onto a canvas or even on greeting cards. I will probably laminate mine and use them as fall decor!
