Chinese Money Tree

For Chinese New Year, create this simple money tree, which can bring money and fortune and symbolises affluence, nobility and auspiciousness.

Trace the child's hand and forearm onto the red piece of paper.

Using a paintbrush or sponge, dab gold paint inside the hand to create the tree branch.

Add gold paint to a coin and stamp it around the hand to create the "money tree".

Now, you have created you're very own money tree!

Use gold paper instead of paint to collage inside the hand
Instead of stamping coins, gold circles can be cut out and glued around the tree
Add glitter for a sparkly effect
