Draw a Tree

One big fluffy treetop, a sturdy trunk, four round apples, and a bark line up the middle: that is the whole recipe. The guided lines walk kids through each part in order, treetop first and apples after, so this simple tree drawing comes together without any guessing about proportions or where the fruit should hang. Each step is one honest shape, drawn one line at a time.

Coloring is where the tree really comes alive. Tap-to-fill means the leaves, the trunk, and every single apple can be filled in seconds, and the tree coloring can go realistic or completely wild. Kids who draw a tree online here have been known to finish with a purple treetop and zero regrets. When it looks done, they sign it, save it, and show it off.

As a tree drawing for kids, this one earns its place in the starter lineup. It suits ages 4 to 8, works as a calm first drawing or a quick confidence boost between trickier subjects, and pairs naturally with the house drawing if your child is in the mood to build an entire street.

Do the apples have to be red?

Not at all. Green apples, golden apples, or apples in colors no orchard has ever seen are all fair game. The tap-to-fill palette makes it easy to test a few before settling on a favorite.

Can my child put their name on the finished tree?

Yes. After coloring, kids sign the picture right on the screen, so the saved drawing carries their signature like a real artist's work.
