So friends, keep scrolling so you can make an awesome craft to beat the winter blues, with just a piece of raw broccoli, white craft paint and blue cardstock paper! That’s it!

Broccoli Stamped Winter Tree On Paper
Today I’m sharing another stamping kid craft idea that is made with a material YOU would NEVER expect! FRESH, RAW BROCCOLI! I didn’t know how much people would love our fall version so I’m super excited to continue the fun into the winter season!
At Glued To My Crafts, we want YOU to celebrate the BEAUTIFUL snow covered trees outside with today’s Broccoli Stamped Winter Tree – Kid Craft tutorial. Just like using a craft sponge, a simple piece of fresh broccoli can be easily turned into a stamp that makes for great textured “snow” on a blank tree template!
Today’s creative painting technique is not only super simple for kids of all ages BUT it’s also really inexpensive too {especially if you have a few pieces of broccoli to spare from your dinner plans!}
So what are you waiting for? Save a few pieces of raw broccoli from your dinner plans tonight and craft this beauty up in the morning with your kids!
Happy crafting and creating beautiful artwork pieces with your child, my friend! Don’t forget to share a few pictures of your winter art projects on our Facebook page! Can’t wait to see your beautiful snowy covered trees painted with broccoli! #gluedtomycrafts

Hi Sheila – you might have to try printing it from a computer instead so you can adjust the printer settings. Or try playing around with the printer settings on your phone. Maybe there is a “print to page” setting you can select? – Stacey

I love this craft. I am confused about the tree template. When I open it in safari on my iPhone and try to print it, it shows up in the print preview as 3 pages. How can I fix this?
Thanks!
