To make this St. Patricks Day craft you will need: a printable tree template (you will find one below), either colored pencils, crayons or paints, chocolate coins and double-sided tape.

Step 1.Download a tree template below and print it out on A4 or Letter size paper.

Print a Tree Template

I use strong paper so it supports attached candy pieces. If you print a tree template on thin paper, you will need to glue it to a sheet of construction paper or card stock.

Step 2. Let kids color the tree with colored pencils or crayons. Kids can also paint the tree; in this case the tree needs to dry before securing candy pieces to it.

If you can't find chocolate coins (many grocery stores and party stores carry them), use Werther's original candy instead.
