Hi! One day when I was sick I left a sub lesson plan for my students to design their own tree houses. I printed out examples of tree house drawings for inspiration, like these here and here. There is also this resource by Art Sub Lessons which has many pictures of real tree houses for inspiration.
I did not leave a lot of directions or specific requirements, but encouraged creative thinking and unusual designs.
Here are some of our whimsical pictures. I think they did a fantastic job!
Check out the treehouse on the lower right side. It is a treehouse made out of dogs!
In this picture below, the tree house on the upper right was made up of scraps of magazines!

I absolutely love this lesson plan, This is a good Into-summer project or end-of-of-year project also
Thanks! I thought the kids had some fun ideas!
Well, what a surprise! Thank you for linking to my lesson, Marcia. I’ve sold more treehouse lessons than anything else in the last couple of days, and I am sure it is because of your shout out here. Jan
Awesome! Glad you got some extra business. 🙂
