As we were learning about the 4 Seasons we had a whole bunch of seeds that looked like fall leaves so I decided to gather some more natural craft supplies and we painted 4 trees to depict spring, summer, winter, and fall. You can adapt our craft supply list to use whatever you can find outside or in your supply closet. Each tree will end up beautiful!

(Go on a nature walk, then use what craft supplies you can find)
Directions:
1. Fold paper in half (hot dog style) and in half again (hamburger style) to make 4 squares.
2. Paint one tree in each square.
3. Give children craft supplies and have them glue them to their trees. Make sure they know which tree represents which season. You can choose to let them design their own tree, or designate one craft supply for each tree. I had the kids decorate their trees the same way, and then I let them make a tree however they wanted using all the craft supplies.

What an adorable craft!
Hi Alison, Thanks so much!
I always love the look of the 4-season tree crafts. White sand was a perfect choice to make the snow!
Such a lovely idea, fun to do and looks really effective, too. Have pinned, will try! #ParentingPinItParty
A lovely idea and would make a great present as well. Thank you for joining in with the Frugal Family Linky this week!
Great idea. My son is really interested in the seasons at the moment. Think we'll give this a try!
