Today's Classroom Activities :

Leaf Art

Leaf Art
Ask your students to pick some leaves and trace them. What do the leaves make them think of? Students can make the shapes into something else.

Students can also place their leaves in an interesting pattern on a piece of drawing paper. They then dip a toothbrush in tempera paint and draw the brush across a screen over the paper, letting tiny dots of paint fall on the paper. Take away the leaves and have them look at the design they created.

String of Leaves
Have your student make a string of leaves to decorate your classroom. These simple-to-make strings make a great Fall or Thanksgiving decoration. You can drape the strings across rooms, over windows and from the chandeliers.

Fall Leaf Ideas
Have your students gather some leaves that have fallen from the trees. Make sure they are not real crispy, you should be able to bend and move them without them breaking up on you. Then use these activities to make name cards, Thanksgiving cards, and place mats.
