Aren't Cherry Blossom Trees one of the prettiest trees around? Kids can make their own fingerprint cherry blossom tree that also doubles a a fun counting activity. It's perfect for a Spring preschool theme.
How to make the Fingerprint Cherry Blossom Tree
Start by painting or coloring a tree trunk. Place a small blog of pink paint in a paint palette or on a plate.
I helped my preschooler make a tree with 5-petaled blossoms using his fingerprints. He liked counting to 5 over and over again! You could instead do single fingerprints for an easier version and even a simpler tree truck.

I always like to see/hear when someone uses one of my projects. I made one of your trees with my 8 month old today, and we had a blast! Thanks for the great idea!
