Banyan Trees

Banyan trees can be found in India as well as here in the US in Florida. Roots grow down from the tree branches as well as down from the tree's trunk. 

After exploring Banyan trees through some photos, we dove into a fun tree project. 

First, the students drew and then painted their Banyan tree. 

Using oil pastels, the students colored in the trees. 

  

The final results remind me of a stained glass window, lit up full of sun. Hopefully these pieces of art work can be displayed in your homes, creating a bright, cheery display!
