Heard of tree rubbing? Why not create some cool art from the bark textures you get!
Here’s what you need:
- Paper
- Colored pencils or crayons
- Tree, tree bark or leaves
- Tape
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1:
Make your way to your favourite outdoor space. It could be your local park, a walking trail, a beach, or even your backyard. Anywhere that has trees or leaves!

Step 2:
Pick a tree with some cool bark. Is it rough or smooth? Got little bumps or holes?
If you can’t find a tree, any nearby bushes with leaves can do the trick!

Step 3:
Tape your paper against the bark and start rubbing your pencil/crayon start against its surface.
You should start seeing the tree bark’s texture on the paper.

Step 4:
When you are finished filling your paper with color, you can find more trees/leaves to transfer. Compare them, do they look the same? Different?
Bring your tree transfers home – you’ve got the perfect drawings for a fun collage!
