The last few weeks in September we talk about why leaves change colors and then we gather up as many varieties of leaves, flowers, grass, and weeds as we can. I read the following 2 picture books: "Look What I Did with a Leaf!" by Morteza E. Sohi and "Leaf Man" by Lois Ehlert. Both of these books show examples of things you can make with leaves. My students enjoyed this activity because they could use their imaginations to create spiders, people, dinosaurs, snakes, fish, dogs, turtles, and much more. To keep your leaves from curling and drying out laminate your art project when you are finished. After the students have created their leaf animal or person I have them write a short paragraph about their picture that is then posted under their project in the hallway.
