What you need:
2 sheets of white paper
ink pads – reds and pinks (you can also use finger paints)
black marker
scissors
pencil (optional)
First we need to make a heart stencil. The easiest way to go about it (in our honest opinion) is to fold a sheet of paper in half and draw a half-heart shape. You can easily cut the heart out then, just by cutting along the line.
Place the sheet of paper with the heart outline on top of a regular sheet of white paper. For younger kids you can secure it with some tape so it won’t move around while they get creative.
With a black marker, draw a tree within the heart shape.
Now it is time to get messy with your fingers. Dab your fingers (thumbs and fingertips to get different shapes) in the ink pads and “stamp” them all over the heart shape. Do this until you are happy with how thick the leaves on the tree are :).
Remove the sheet of paper with the heart outline.
Draw the rest of the tree trunk, if necessary.
