Artistic Leaves

Watch for stories and activities I share related to fall, like the post on the Read Aloud, Leaves.

Here are some ideas for creating autumn pictures, using markers, paint, bottoms, and old magazines. Move paint with cotton swabs, pieces of a sponge, or even leaves themselves! 

Cut colors from old magazines to glue onto another paper. Use things you find around the house (as your family if you may use them) like old burins or fabric scraps. Use berries or seeds you find outside. 

Have fun and be creative. You can use your pictures to hang on the wall, as greeting cards, or even as placements and wrapping paper.

Create your pictures with your family members or friends. 

You can use this photo as a model, but remember to use YOUR ideas and materials to create your special, unique artwork.
