One fun way to talk about how seasons change is by teaching kids about trees. This tree template is a free printable and can be used as a coloring page, or as a craft about the seasons. We used it as a finger painting project too and designed our own fall tree!
Below you will find a pdf file you can download to print. We’ve included a tree outline with and without leaves in a few different sizes.

Tree Printable
Using a tree printable is a fun way to teach children of all ages about the seasons and how they change and what that means in nature. If you’re using it with a toddler it’s the perfect craft for finger painting and talking about different colors of leaves. As a preschool or kindergarten craft they can do more of the cutting and coloring with you.
