How to make this Truffula Tree Craft

STEP 1: Get your supplies ready

Before you begin making this truffula tree craft prepare all your supplies. To avoid getting pen marks on your work surface lay out a scrap piece of paper to work on. When choosing the colours for your embroidery threads you could either look at 'The Lorax' and match you colours to those used in the book, or just pick your favourite colours!

STEP 2: Make a pom pom

To make the top of the truffula trees wrap embroidery thread around three fingers. Carefully slide the thread off your fingers and tie the end around the center into a double knot. Then cut the loop on each side.

STEP 2: Make the trunk

To make the trunk of your truffula trees you need to colour thick diagonal stripes onto your yellow craft sticks.

STEP 3: Construct truffula tree

This part will need to be done by an adult. Squirt some hot glue on the top of your yellow and black craft stick and stick the coloured thread pom pom on top. Move the pieces around to make the tree look more full.

Your Truffula tree craft is complete. It would be lots of fun to use this 'The Lorax' craft as a bookmark for when reading Dr Seuss books.
