About this resource
Description
Trees give young writers plenty to talk about, from the leaves and needles they can touch to the birds and squirrels that live in the branches. This tree cut outs activity turns that interest into a little book: kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade children cut out pine-tree pages, then draw and write about trees inside a book shaped like one.
The pack has three tree-shaped pages to print. The book cover has a picture box plus lines for a title and the author’s name. The writing page is filled with solid writing lines that follow the shape of the tree, and the picture page has a box for a drawing with writing lines below it. Children color the cover, write a title and their name, draw a tree they know, and write about what it looks like. Then they cut out each page on the bold line, and the pages are stapled together on the left side to make the book. Print as many writing pages as each child needs.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with materials, prep tips and simple steps
- A tree-shaped book cover page
- A tree-shaped writing page
- A tree-shaped picture and writing page
Why This Activity Helps Kids
First, cutting along the bold outline builds the scissor control young children need. Second, a special shape makes writing feel like making a real book, so children want to fill every line. Third, drawing before writing helps early writers plan what they want to say about trees.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the book on Arbor Day, during a nature walk unit, or as a winter holiday craft when the tree becomes a decorated evergreen. Take the class outside to look at a real tree before they write. This kindergarten arbor day activity also makes a sweet bulletin board when the finished books hang side by side like a forest. Pair the tree cut outs activity with the resources below for more tree learning.
