Introduction

This Craft is based on the children’s book "The Berenstain Bears
and The Spooky Old Tree" by Stan and Jan Berenstain. Kids love
this book and it is one of my favorites as well.

Directions:

Start by having the children trace their hands on a piece of brown construction
paper while elongating the fingers.

To do this trace from the wrist up past the fingers and come to a point.
You may have to help the kids with this step but it helps if you demonstrate
the process first and then have the kids copy you.

Next, snip a thin strip of green construction paper to make grass. I
cut out a pumpkin, which hides in the grass. I also added a bat, some
crows, and a big yellow moon. The cutouts are then glued onto a gray or
black piece of construction paper to make a spooky old tree scene.
