Project 1: Create your own Smile Tree

To take part in Chipper’s first project, all you’ll need is some multicoloured card and glue or a set of colouring pens and a large piece of paper or lots of pieces of paper stuck together.

■■Step 1: Take a large piece of brown card and carefully cut out a tree and complete with as many branches as you like. Alternatively, draw a tree on the biggest piece of paper you can find.

■■Step 2: Cut out small pieces of card in any colour in the shape of leaves and add leaves to every branch of your tree.

■■Step 3: Write on each leaf the name of your family members, best friends and favourite things to do. Fill every leaf with a person or activity that makes you smile.

■■Step 4: Send us a picture of your tree and display your tree somewhere you can see it and smile every day :)
