Even More Leaf Projects.... it is fall afterall!!!

In both the Tot School and K4 classes we have been celebrating fall... one of the fun activities that comes with it is making leaf projects... we have done several so far... but here are 3 more!

K4 decorated coffee filter leaf cut outs with pipette-fulls of colored water (colored with drops of food coloring)

Ryleigh coloring her leaf...with droplets of food coloring...

The finished leaves... they actually feel like silk leaves... and a great addition to our fall decorations!

For the Tot School class, I had them make Marker Coffee Filter Leaves... it seemed less messy than the food coloring leaves... in theory I guess...

Marker misfire...

After the leaves were all colored in... they misted them to blend the colors...

I had both classes do q-tip painting on index cards... for falling leaves...
I drew in the "tree" with a crayon...

The little ones in Tot School totally got into this project...

K4 working on their leaves...

Ryleigh was very careful with her falling leaves... and very particular of their placement...

The finished q-tip paintings...

One of the stories that we have enjoyed reading this fall is I Know It's Autumn, by Eileen Spinelli... She goes through and says all the different things that may point to it being fall... and the illustrations are great!
