Forest of Leafy Trees Game

Paint some colorful trees using Crayola Color Wonder™ Paints. Then play a color and shape matching game.

1. Do you like to match colors? How about shapes? Paint a picture and then turn it into a matching game!

2. On large Crayola Color Wonder™ Paper, paint the trunk and branches of three trees using Color Wonder Paint. Make each tree a different color and a different shape. One might be a tall, red tree with many branches. Another could be a blue bushy tree. Try a straight yellow tree without any branches. Don’t paint any leaves on these trees.

3. On other Color Wonder™ Paper, paint at least three red leaves, three blue leaves, and three yellow leaves. Make each color a different leaf design. The red ones could be heart-shaped, the blue ones ovals, and the yellow ones narrow. Air-dry the leaves.

4. Tear out the leaves. First, match the leaves to the tree that is the same color. Next try putting a leaf from each of the three colors on each tree. After that make up your own leaf patterns. Use tape to stick leaves to the trees if you like.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

The leaves of palm trees are some of the largest in the world. In the tropical parts of Africa, the raffia palm has leaves measuring 80 feet (24 m). That’s as tall as 8 elephants stacked on top of each other! In South America, the leaves of the Amazon palm grow to about 30 feet (8 m). How many elephants tall are those leaves?
