Q-tip Tree

Here's an interesting twist on what 'tools' you can use to paint with.  I found this dot tree on Pinterest and had it saved for a future craft day.  It seemed perfect for the cooler, feeling like fall morning we had the other day.

Things you'll need:
 - q-tips
 - washable paint
 - paper
 - paint brush

Pretty simple craft this time.  All I did was paint the tree trunk and then put print-out of the image from Pinterest on the table to show Alexandria how they used the q-tips to make the leaves on the tree.  As always she had her own twist on the craft and decided that after she had made the dots that the tree needed to be enclosed with brown!  As much as my OCD makes me cringe, I love her putting her own spin on each craft we do!  Below is the original idea and then some of Alexandria's work & finished product.
