Autumn Trees with cotton buds

As I’ve mentioned in other posts we like to use various objects to paint with for the different effects they give us. Autumn is the perfect time to use reds, yellows and oranges in art.

For this activity we used cotton buds. I made a little bundle of them and used an elastic band to secure them. I used a tree template but you could draw one or have your child draw their own either. L and A dipped their cotton bud paintbrushes into the paints and used them to paint their autumn trees with.
