Children’s Books about Trees & Tree Activities

arbor day

National Arbor day is almost here. (It’s always the last Friday in April.) In celebration of Arbor Day, I wanted to share some resources for children that  you may find useful. 

Some of our favorite books about trees:

A Tree Is Nice by Janice May Udry

 

The Seasons of Arnold’s Apple Tree by Gail Gibbons

 

The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry

 

 

Although Arbor Day is mainly a day set aside each year encouraging the planting of trees, here are some other ways you can celebrate:
  • Go on a walk in your neighborhood with a sketchbook. Sketch your favorite trees or try identifying them.
  • Check out some nonfiction books about trees from your local library.
  • Do bark rubbings with crayons and paper.
  • Get our your art materials and paint some trees. Here is some inspiration: Birch Tree Art, Leaf Rubbings & Splatter Paint, Oil Pastel Tree, Watercolor Tree , and a Recycled Paper Tree.

 

 The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. 

The next best time is now.  ~Chinese Proverb

 

How do you celebrate Arbor Day?

    My son is super interested in trees right now so this post is perfect timing for us. We love the Season’s of Arnold’s Apple Tree and I just requested The Great Kapok Tree from the library. Thanks for the recommendation.
