It can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be.<\/p>\n<h3>Watercolor Paint the Tree Trunk<\/h3>\n<p>You start by painting the trunk of the tree on the paper. This can be any size tree trunk they want. It can be a short tree, tall tree , or skinny tree. Let them decide how it will look.<\/p>\n<p>One reason to use watercolors instead of paints is that watercolor drys fast and won&#8217;t mix the colors with the other paints.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to skip this step for younger kids you can get a tree trunk in the <a href=\"\/wordpress\/index.php\/fall-pack-extra-more-fall-dot-marker-pages\/\">fall dot marker printables<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/5-2022\/paper-roll-green-tree2.jpg\" alt=\"Paper Roll Green Tree is a fun and easy craft that different ages can do together that is an open ended project that you can work on making a tree - 3Dinosaurs.com\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Green Paints on Paint Tray<\/h3>\n<p>You can put the paints on the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Paint-Palettes-Plastic-Professional-Painting\/dp\/B074W56CQ4?crid=CGWHTM39MYQK&#038;keywords=B074W56CQ4&#038;qid=1645438141&#038;sprefix=b074w56cq4%2Caps%2C83&#038;sr=8-1&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;tag=3dinos-20&#038;linkId=025d01aa5527693606bdc2e7e885909c&#038;language=en_US&#038;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"noopener\">paint tray<\/a>.
