Notes for parents and teachers

For the youngest

  • Chunky wax crayons are easier than wooden pencils for ages 3 and 4.
  • Colouring outside the lines is normal; praise effort and colour choices, not just neatness.

The symmetry sheet

  • Stand a small mirror on the dashed line so your child can see how the whole tree should look.
  • Count squares outward from the line on each row.

Materials

  • Crayons: yellow, blue, green, red, orange, brown
