Read A Tree Is Nice by Janice Udry. Provide white construction paper and crayons or chalk. Take a nature walk and point out the differences in trees. Have the children form pairs and make bark rubbings. Demonstrate how one child can hold the paper against the tree bark while another child rubs the crayon lengthwise against the paper.
