Sketch an object or shape your child likes. We will call that shape “the base.” What iconic quantity does the base show? To find out, mark the points that stick out, such as the tips of cats’ ears (two), vertices of a triangle (three), or ends of a star (five). Draw smaller versions of the base at each of the marked points. Mark the same points on each of the smaller versions, and draw even smaller versions of the base at each of these points. Repeat the process as many times as you want. You just made several levels of a fractal! This type is called tree fractal.
