What's In This Picture

Looking at this page, you will first notice the smiling face on the thick tree trunk, giving the whole scene a friendly personality. The branches stretch out wide, supporting various frames designed for photos or drawings. Each frame has a clear label, including spots for an Aunt, Uncle, and Grandparents, making it easy to organize your family members.

Below the tree, the ground is covered in soft grass with two potted flowers sitting on either side of the trunk. High above, several soft clouds float in the background, adding a sense of height to the tall tree. The leaves are clustered in groups, providing plenty of small spaces to fill with different shades of green. It is a complete scene that invites you to imagine a sunny day in a peaceful garden where your family roots grow deep.

Coloring Tips

Since this tree is full of character, you might want to use a warm brown for the tree trunk to make the smiling face stand out. Using different shades of green for the leaves can add depth, making the tree look full and healthy. For the photo frames, consider using bright, bold colors like gold, red, or blue to make each family member's spot pop against the greenery.

If you plan to draw faces inside the frames, using fine-tipped markers or colored pencils will help you add small details. The clouds in the background can be left white or given a very light blue tint around the edges for a soft look. To make the scene even more vibrant, try coloring the flowers in the pots with your favorite bright hues like pink or orange. This page is perfect for experimenting with textures on the bark and grass.

Did You Know?

Did you know that some trees can live for thousands of years? Just like a real tree, a family tree shows how everyone is connected through many generations. The oldest known living tree is over 4,800 years old! Using a tree to represent a family is a tradition that has been used for centuries to help people remember their ancestors.

Try This!

After you finish coloring the tree, you can find small photos of your relatives to glue inside the frames. If you do not have photos, try drawing a little portrait of each person based on their favorite features. You could also write the names of your family members on the labels to practice your handwriting while creating a special piece of art for your room.
