Description

Create beautiful autumn-themed art using rainbow pencil shavings for a vibrant and eco-friendly project.


Materials

  • Pencil shavings (from various colored pencils)
  • Construction paper or canvas
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Brown crayon or marker (for the trunk and branches)
  • Optional: Small embellishments like glitter or stickers


Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Materials: Gather all your materials on a clean work surface.
  2. Make Pencil Shavings: Sharpen colored pencils to create shavings. You can use multiple colors to get a beautiful effect.
  3. Draw a Tree: On your construction paper or canvas, draw a tree with a brown crayon or marker. Include branches extending out from the trunk.
  4. Spread Glue: Apply a layer of glue on the areas where you want to place the pencil shavings.
  5. Add Shavings: Carefully sprinkle the pencil shavings over the glued areas. Press down gently to make sure they stick.
  6. Let Dry: Allow your artwork to dry completely before handling it to avoid mess.

Notes

Use thick construction paper to avoid bending from the glue. Supervise children while using scissors and glue.
