I love these tree templates! I appreciate the variety and versatility. Children are able to choose which template they want to use, whether they want to color the tree first or just jump in and create the leaves. I then provide several different mediums, including dot markers, small sponges for painting with tempera paint, watercolors and brushes, liquid watercolors and straws, torn paper, rubber stamps, etc., for them to choose from. They creations are truly their own.
