Kids will LOVE recreating these Paint Splat Truffula Trees in honor of the Dr. Seuss classic “The Lorax.”

With no two being alike, it’s a craft that is extra fun to make in a group setting and compare your finished masterpiece with others {hint hint – teachers!}

An easy Dr. Seuss art craft to make with the kids today! #gluedtomycrafts

We love paint splat crafts on Glued To My Crafts. It’s a great abstract art process for kids to take a hold of and make some symmetrical masterpieces out of! It’s just a matter of squirting some paint on a piece of paper, squishing it together and admiring your hard work when you open it all up again!

Inspired by the book and movie “The Lorax” our truffula trees are just as colorful and vibrant!

So find the full tutorial below! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycraftsinspiresyou

Paint Splat Truffula Trees Supplies:

* Paper Plates {small or large – I used small}
* Tulip Puffy Paint {in ANY color you like but I went with pastel colors}
*  Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
* Tacky Glue
* Baby Wipes
optional – glitter, sequins, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* Please make sure you have a good working area that can get dirty because paint will squeeze out of the sides of this craft!!!
* First fold your paper plate in half {one per tree that you want to make.}
* Unfold and squirt some paint on one side of the paper plate {I like the Tulip Puffy Paint for this particular step since it’s in a nice controlled squirt bottle} Be sure to keep the paint inside the paper plate and not place too much down.
* Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your paper plate together again. Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your the inside nicely {paint WILL more than likely squeeze out the sides, so be sure to pay attention to that and clean up with baby wipes!}
* Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your colorful TREE design inside.
* To finish the Paper Plate Paint Splat Truffula Tree – glue a jumbo popsicle stick to the plate {if desired, you can use markers to decorate the popsicle sticks before hand!}
* Set aside your crafty pieces, to let them dry completely before displaying proudly.
* If you like – you can also add glitter on top of the wet paint for an even more fun look!
