Leaf Art

This book was recommended to me by a teacher friend of mine (Thanks Mel!).  The animals created with leaves in this book are amazing!  I thought it would be fairly simple to make something with leaves, but I was proven wrong.  Maybe I'm just not patient enough...or artsy enough.  However, I think my kids did a pretty good job of making their own animal creations.

I collected the leaves a couple days before we did this project because you have to press them in a book to hold their color and shape.

Then I read the book to the kids and laid the leaves out for them to pick and choose their favorites.

Altogether a fun, simple art activity.
