Q-tip Winter Tree

Kindergartners LOVE to paint.  I like to keep it simple so clean up is not overwhelming.  So I often use a Q-tip for the paint instead of a brush.  This project reviews rectangle and triangle.  I tell my students that the person who looks at their picture should see snow, but the artist who paints it is CREATING LINES.  According to basic geometry, a line starts with a dot that moves.  And q-tips  make perfect little dots.  Now move the q-tip and create a line!
