About This Project

A 30–45 minutes craft for ages 3–10, using supplies you likely already have — Seeds, Beans, and White Glue.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    "Let's stick together and make this one!"

    Step 1: Fold the paper

    Fold the paper in half like a hot dog. Then, fold the paper in half again like a hamburger. Now you have 4 squares.

    Step 2: Paint the trees

    May need grown-up help
    Paint one tree in each square with brown paint.

    Step 3: Glue on the nature items

    Glue nature items to the trees. Make sure you know which tree is for which season. Spring trees can have dried split peas, leaves, and grass. Summer trees can have corn and flowers. Fall trees can have seeds and leaves. Winter trees can have white sand and cotton balls. You can design the trees however you want!

    Step 4: Enjoy your art!
