Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place your blue construction paper the landscape direction (horizontal).
    Use a darker blue chalk to make the top ¾ of the paper look more like a night sky. Lay the chalk on its side and color over the paper lightly making it darker on the edges of the paper.
    Use your finger to blend (smudge) the chalk making the chalk smooth on the paper.  
  • Use the white chalk to make an area of “snow” on the bottom of ¼ of the paper. Cover the paper well and make the top edge roll up and down like snow drifts after a snow storm. 
    Take a finger and blend the chalk so it looks smooth and covers the paper well.
  • Use the white chalk to make 3 tree trunks up from the snow drift to about ½ way up the paper. Widen the trunk out slightly at the bottom to look like roots.
    Draw five or six larger branches coming out of the top of the trunk, looking like your five fingers spread out on your hand.
  • Draw a series of yellow stars around these trees, maybe 6-8 stars. The video teaches how to make stars if you don’t know how. 
  • Make 4 or five smaller branches coming out of the end of each of the larger branches. 
    Then making 4 more even smaller twigs out of the end of these smaller branches. The video makes this clear if you can't visualize it. 
  • The snow is small dots made of white chalk all over the blue sky.
    Draw a small cardinal in one of the trees and two birds on the ground. Make a small circle head, an oval body, and a line for a tail out of red chalk. Make a small black line on the front of the head and two small black lines for legs.
    Finish the bird with a small yellow triangle beak. Again, the video helps with these steps.
    A few tiny dots for seed around the birds complete the picture.
