This little salt science experiment will leave kids thrilled! This Fall Leaf Salt Art project will also help kids build fine motor skills as they work on getting the glue all around the edges of the leaf as well as along the lines in the middle.

Watching the paint blend into the salt and create different colors each time will have kids super excited! It’s amazing how many different ways you can use these leaf cut-outs when creating great fall art and craft projects! 

Leaves craft, Pumpkin crafts and Fall Tree crafts are the flavor of the season.

 Fall Leaf Salt Art – How to:

This time we are going to take the cut-out and place it flat on the table. From there take your glue and go all around the edges as well as the black lines inside of your paper leaf. Sprinkle the salt over top of the spots with glue. In a pipette combine paint and just a little bit of water (just so that it’s thin enough to go through the pipette) and drip the mixture over the salt and glue. Be sure to use multiple colors to mimic the gorgeous fall foliage outside!
Let kids create as many or as few as they want. It’s a fun little science experiment to have on hand for rainy days or lessons on changing seasons.
