First have children design and glue their popsicle stick tree base together. This is done by gluing mini popsicle sticks {branches} all over a single wavy popsicle stick {the trunk.}

Once done, have them set it aside to let it dry completely.

Once dry, go ahead and have children paint their new popsicle stick design completely brown. Simply squirt the brown craft paint on the paper plate and have them use a small paint brush for this task.

While they are working on the painting step, grab your scissors and the pink & white tissue paper.

Cut a small amount of each color, into small 2x2 inch squares {maybe even a bit smaller.}

Have children take a single piece of tissue paper, crumble it up a bit with their hands and then glue it on their popsicle stick design, to represent the cherry blossoms.

Repeat until you have a nice full tree.

Finally - add the bird sticker anywhere on the cherry blossom tree piece.

When done, set it all side to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
