LEAF MOBILE
Glue colorful and different fabrics to both sides of
several pieces of heavy paper. Cut leaves from this.
Tie a string on each leaf. Suspend the leaves from a
small branch. Hang where the leaves will catch the
breeze and flutter.
LEAF RUBBING
To help children notice the veins in leaves and the
different shapes of leaves, let them place a variety
of leaves (underside up) under a piece of light
colored construction paper. Using the sides of
crayons that have had the paper covering removed,
children make crayon rubbing of the leaves.
LEAF TOSS
Take a sheet, or a parachute. Gather real leaves,
fabric leaves, or paper leaves. Place them in the
middle of the sheet. Gather around the sheet and
have the children lift the sheet slowly and then
quickly to see how all the leaves "float".
