About this printable
Trees on this page are a trunk plus cloud shapes, which is how many kids already think of a park maple. This how to draw a tree for kids lesson adds extra canopy circles so the crown looks full without drawing every leaf. Fruit circles in the last panel are optional apples or just round leaves. Talk about trees on your street. Sit near a window if you can. The ground curve keeps the trunk from floating. Classroom science units on seasons can reuse the same sheet: green in spring, extra fruit in fall. If the trunk is too skinny, thicken both sides before adding the crown. Keep pencils dull enough that bark lines stay soft. Hang several trees as a tiny forest on a bedroom wall.
