Silhouette Leaf Art : Process

Put some small drops of your fall-colored paints along the edge of a plate. The next step will be a kid’s favorite as they get to stick their fingers in each color of the paint and put fingerprints all along the edges of their leaf. Start by having them go all the way around the leaf to make a sort of stencil and then proceed to leave their little fingerprints all around the open area of the paper. Be sure to encourage them to use a variety of colors as this will make the art project really stand out! You then pull the leaf off and remove the scotch tape from the paper. These would make great pictures to hang around your classroom during the fall season, or awesome take-home gifts for family!

This fall art is would make a great small group and early finisher activities. They would also be the perfect opportunity to bring in some older kids and have them help with the small groups by making sure supplies are ready and used properly.
