Make some leaf people!

You will need :

Real leaves from trees
construction paper
pencils
colors or marking pens

Directions:

During my Fall walk I ask each child to collect 2 or 3 leaves from the ground. When we get back I tape of one of each child's leaves to a piece of white construction paper so the leaf has the stem pointing to the top of the paper. Then I model for the children how to make one into a Leaf Person by drawing a head above the stem of the leaf, legs and feet from the bottom,and arms and hands out the side. When the children have drawn these then they can add hair and face features. If they like, a small leaf or a piece of leaf can be added for a hat. The children can color the parts added and then add a background. It makes a pretty Fall picture!
