First we gathered leaves of all shapes and sizes. We looked at the shapes, sizes, colors, and textures of the leaves.
Next we read and looked at the pictures in the book Look What I did with a Leaf.
We each decided on a leaf creature that we wanted to make. Most of the girls, picked butterflies.... :)
With the preschoolers, I had to help some them with leaf sizes and placement.
After our leaves were glued down, we placed something heavy on top of them to help flatten the leaves. The kids really enjoyed this and it was fun to explore leaves and turn them into a small piece of art too!
