Objectives:

Students will see the natural beauty in a fall leaf as they use non-traditional methods of creating leaf patterns.

What You Need:

  • Construction paper
  • Red, green, yellow and orange paint
  • Paint brush for each color
  • Safety scissors

What You Do:

  1. Cover table with news print.
  2. Have supplies ready and in individual trays, with paint brushes for each color.
  3. Also have a sink or soapy water bucket and paper towel close at hand for clean up.
  4. Have students paint one hand using each color, until the entire hand is covered.
  5. Press hand on colored or white previously cut paper.
  6. This technique will make some beautiful fall leaf shapes.
  7. Once dried, have the students cut out their hand prints.
  8. Use them to border a chalk board, or design a large "word" tree and change it through the seasons.
