The steps in words

  1. Draw a big cloud shape with rounded edges. This is the treetop.
  2. Under it, draw a trunk: two lines that widen a little at the bottom.
  3. At the bottom of the trunk, add roots that spread out to the sides like fingers.
  4. Inside the treetop, draw three round fruits, each with a little leaf.
  5. On top of the tree, draw a small, smiling bird.
  6. Go over all the lines in black. The tree is ready!

Tip: Swap the fruit for oranges, pomegranates or almond blossoms, and you get a different tree every time.
