Classroom Tree

Roll up crinkled old butcher paper from the floor up to 3/4 of the wall. Take branches and extend it up the wall and the ceiling, make hand prints for leaves and start out with green leaves. Use palm print apples. To make the apples for it paint only the palm of the child's hand red cut out and post.

The next month, green starts coming down and a few of the yellow and orange go up. By November all green is gone and brown appears. By December you should have brown only. In January there are no leaves and the tree comes down.
