Here is a fun way for kids of all ages to get creative with leaves. Start by giving your kids a bag and sending them outside to collect leaves. Encourage them to get many different shapes and colors. For added fun, find many different kinds before sending your mini-Macaronis out and hold up one leaf at a time asking them to find a matching leaf.
- Once you have found a sufficient amount of leaves head back inside, grab some paper, crayons and glue and then start thinking!
- Lay out all the leaves you collected on the table and study their shapes.
- Move them around until you see an animal, person, or scene you'd like to create and start gluing!
