This morning on the way home from the school run we decided to collect some of the lovely coloured leaves which seem to be falling fast from the trees. The children helped place their favourites in a bag and enjoyed pointing out ll the colours they could spot.
When we took them home the children set the leaves out on the carpet, sorting the by colour then size. Mean while I cut a rectangle out of two pieces of A4 black paper and place it on a piece of sticky back plastic.
The children got straight to work sticking their favourite leaves on the sticky back plastic and bashing them down to make sure they are stuck down properly.
It did take them a while to work out that they couldn't press on the plastic without getting stuck. Little man tried to layer more and more on top of the plastic covering.
The children choose a spot ont he window for their art and we put them up. The light instantly came through leaves making such beautiful pictures.
