Clip the pom poms on each clothespin. You’ll want one pom pom and clothespin set up for each color of paint. We used yellow, red, orange and green paint.
Pour a small circle of paint onto the paper plate. Do this for each color. Feel free to color match pom poms to paint if desired.
Have the child dip the clothespin with the pom pom attached gently into the paint and stamp the paint onto the tree trunk. Repeat this process desired amount of times until the tree trunk/hand print is colored with fall colors.
