We made a coconut tree with climbing letters out of a paper towel roll and some construction paper.
James cut out the leaves while Sean painted the trunk.
Sean cut fringe on the leaves.
When the paint dried, I taped the leaves to the top and Sean put letter stickers all over it.

That's a great Chicka Chicka tree! I will have to make one with the kids the next time that book rises to the top of our pile. :)
Thanks for the idea. I have been planning on making one with my youngest, two things stopping me though. One I had no idea on how to start and two he has a cast (makes it hard to do things) But the cast comes off this week and now I have an idea so thanks.
Yay! E has been going around all week saying, "At the top of the coconut tree." I'll have to do one of these with her.

What a cute project! Great idea! We love reading books and read several other tree books this week, but I didn't think of that one.
So cute and fun!
What an awesome idea! My girls LOVE that book. We will have to try this.

I thought about doing a Chicka Chicka project this week too, but didn't get a chance to. Your tree is cute!
