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
