Before you draw a tree for a child in stages, you need to carefully study these objects of nature and find similarities between them.
What does any, well, or almost any tree have? The answer suggests itself - a straight and powerful trunk. As a rule, from below it is quite thick and voluminous, but the closer to the top of the tree, the thinner it becomes. It is from the trunk that branches go in all directions, while the main ones rush up.
Closer to the base, the branches are long, and towards the top, on the contrary, they are short. From skeletal large branches to different sides smaller branches grow, even less from them, etc. The crown of almost all trees directly depends and is formed on such branches. Given all these facts, you can easily draw the "skeleton" of a tree.
Important: you can depict trees in winter in a similar way - only branches, without foliage. 
Interested? Then let's take a closer look at how to draw a tree with a pencil in stages for children. Believe me - it will be very informative, as well as interesting.
How to draw a tree: general scheme
First of all, we will decorate the "skeleton" of the tree with leaves. You can create them simple dots, making a leafy crown from separate points (Figure A). As for coloring, for a summer tree it is better to use several shades of yellow or green, autumn version can be done with red, yellow, orange or green paints.
In addition, most children will easily draw a certain plane with an irregular, oval-like shape (Figure B). This method is ideal for teaching kids how to draw. It will also be useful in this case, drawing trees in the landscape. First draw one trunk and skeletal thick branches. Now paint over the green part of the tree and add small twigs. 
Foliage image options
As mentioned above, we draw a tree "in principle", that is, the image familiar to most of us. Naturally in nature different kinds trees are very different. In our drawing there will also be a difference in the trunks: a powerful and thick giant oak, pine or mountain ash, weeping slender birch with drooping branches. What exactly to portray - decide for yourself.
Simple tree: drawing lesson for children from 4 years old
It is, in fact, very easy, but interesting way draw a tree. Of course, it is impossible to determine its type. Yes, it is not required here. The main thing is that we know for sure that the tree is deciduous.
1. Draw a trunk and several voluminous, large branches with your child. The foliage must be made in the form of an oval.
2. Color your drawing with colored pencils, felt-tip pens or paints. It all depends on your imagination. 
At first glance, it seems that such a drawing is very simple and ordinary, however, it provides rich ground for creativity and allows you to embody the most original ideas. Take a close look at the picture below and see for yourself what variety of trees you can draw using a similar technique. 
Oak - step by step execution with children from 6 years old
This oak is somewhat reminiscent of an ordinary tree, which we have already considered. However, there are many more individual details here: branches complex shape, texture of bark and hollow. Do not worry if your child makes the lesson easier or misses something. The main goal - the tree should be powerful and stocky. 
We draw a birch with children from 8 years old in stages
For many children, drawing such a tree is a difficult task. Why? Here everything is as close as possible to a realistic image, there are complex lines and details. Therefore, you should not draw a birch for preschoolers, as well as for those who study in primary school. Most likely they will try to simplify the drawing. 
Pay your child's attention to the birch branches - they lean down!
Pine: step-by-step execution with children from 8 years old
And now let's leave deciduous trees and move on to conifers. Tell the children if they don't already know that pine is an evergreen tree. Therefore, there is no difference at what time of the year you will draw it: in summer or winter - the crown is always the same. To draw pine trees use the same principle as for deciduous trees. The only difference is that the green spots-needles must be clearly connected to the branches. In addition, unlike hardwoods, this tree has a more voluminous “bare” part of the trunk. 
Christmas tree - a simple drawing scheme for children from 4 years old
Draw another, no less popular and well-known conifer tree Christmas tree can be done in several ways. But we will consider only one - a coniferous and very realistic tree for adult children. You can see the drawing in the picture below. 
And now an unusual option - draw a palm tree with children from 7 years old
So, earlier we learned how to draw trees that grow in our country. Now it's time for more exotic plants. For example, it is very interesting to draw a palm tree - a decorative, simple, but at the same time, original tree. Translated from Latin, palm means "palm" - "palma". Apparently this is due to palm leaves spread out like “fingers”.
We will give two main options for drawing this tree: the first is more realistic image, the second - you can say "cartoon". The complexity of both drawings is about the same. Children from 7 to 8 years old can easily cope with such a task, of course, not without the help of their parents.
Option number 1 - a scheme for drawing a palm tree with children from 7 years old in a few steps. 
Option number 2 
OK it's all over Now. Now you have personally seen that drawing a tree is easy. And it doesn’t matter what exactly you want to portray: oak, birch, palm tree, etc. The main thing is to believe in own forces and, of course, show a little imagination. We provide additional information below.

Lesson progress:
Guys, today's lesson is about trees.
First I will ask you a few riddles about them.
What kind of girl is this, not a seamstress, not a craftswoman,
She does not sew anything herself, but in needles whole year. (Spruce.)
Girlfriends are standing on the edge of the forest,
Not caring about the weather, they wear white sundresses. (Birches.)
Let's look at the pictures. What kind of trees do they show? (o.d.)
(birch, oak, willow, pine, maple, alder, poplar, etc.).
Trees are not only beautiful, but also useful. From their wood are made
many necessary things. Look at the pictures and say which things
wood are depicted on them. (o.d.)
Today we will depict by drawing on a sheet
paper beautiful branchy tree in winter.
But first, we'll rest.
Fizkultminutka.
We stomp our feet.
We stomp our feet, we clap our hands
We shake our heads, we shake our heads.
We raise our hands, we lower our hands,
We give pens And run around.
Here, listen to something about the birch, an amazing tree.
Birch trees grow on forest edges, they tolerate strong winds well. Under
spruces like to grow birch trees, so they say: “Birch nanny ate.” At
flowering at the birch, earrings appear.
Furniture, baskets, bags are made from birch wood. In birch buds
many vitamins, they are used in the manufacture of medicines. Early spring from
birches produce sap, which is also useful for humans.
And now let's start the image of a beautiful spreading tree in winter.
Choose the material with which you will draw.
But first our fingers will play.
Finger gymnastics "Let's make peace."
Two thumbs arguing: Who is the superior of the two?
Let's not let a quarrel happen
And let's reconcile them right there.
Children draw their own beautiful spreading tree.
In the process of drawing, individually discuss the composition with the children
drawing.
Remind not only about the diversity of tree species, but also about their
different ages.
Summary of the lesson:
Children look at your work. What wonderful trees we have.
I feel like I'm in winter forest.
I ask 23 children what kind of trees they depicted.
Well done guys, good job. Arrange an exhibition.

Motivational - indicative stage.
- Children, we have been waiting for a very long time for the arrival of the beauty - winter. We watched the first snow fall, covering the ground. We examined the first snowflakes, how they are all different, elegant, elegant. And so we waited for snowy, frosty days. Snow covered the whole earth with a fluffy white carpet.
We have noticed that when it is very cold, what kind of snow? That's right, it is loose, light, fluffy, it sparkles, sparkles in the sun, crunches underfoot. The snow even smells. Remember what? Yes, unusual freshness and purity - the smell of frost.
Let's remember how beautiful winter can be called? ("Guest - winter", "Russian pullet", "beauty - soul", "snow winch", "mother - winter"). How tenderly, affectionately and joyfully they turn to her. And we are glad for the arrival of the sorceress - winter. Do you want to meet winter? And let's just go to fairy forest and let's see how she managed there.
But first, let's "dress" warmer - today it's cold, frosty. (Children imitate putting on winter clothes).
Ready? Now I will say the magic words, and you close your eyes.
By pike command, according to my desire, let us all find ourselves in a winter forest. (I open the painting by I. I. Shishkin “Winter”).
Search stage.
Now open your eyes and look around, where did we get to? (Into the forest). What is he? (Large, dense, impassable, winter). What trees grow in this forest? (Huge spruce and small spruce).
And what lies on the ground under the snow? (Fallen trees).
Why did you decide that this is a winter forest? (There is snow on the ground, trees in the snow).
Look carefully at the trees that the artist depicted, pay attention to the branches, why they bowed to the ground. (Because there is a lot of snow on the trees and they bowed to the ground from gravity). And how is the trunk depicted? (expands to the bottom, narrows to the top) .And what color is it? (Brown). How are the branches depicted? (Thick near the trunk, and thin at the top) Let's go to the window and look at the trees in our area. What do we see? Why do trees have snow on one side of their trunk and not on the other? How beautifully winter decorated the trees!
Let's draw today winter tree.
Practical stage.
Pay attention to the easel. (I show a sample). This is how I depicted the winter tree. What do you think, what will we draw with? (Wax crayons and gouache). Look at the diagram and tell us how we will draw. What do we draw first? ... (Pictures hang on the board step by step drawing, children tell on them how they will draw).
Let's get our fingers ready.
Finger gymnastics "Trees in winter"
Put on snow hats
Maples, lindens, pines, spruces. (show - put on hats)
Here is the mighty old oak
He put on a snowy sheepskin coat (show - put on a sheepskin coat)
The wind suddenly blew strongly, (wave your hands in front of you, blow like the wind)
And he bent the trees
All the trees swayed. (swing from side to side, shake
Fur coats, hats are lost (shake your hands in front of you).
Sit down at the tables and get to work. Draw trees in winter that you like.
