And one little leaf came falling down.

Use Leaf Bracelets: (weather didn’t permit) so we read a few books about leaves and talked about why they change colors.
Before going outside, wrap a piece of masking tape, with the sticky side out, around each child's wrist. While outside, have the children add pieces of leaves and twigs to the tape for a fall bracelet!

Paper Towel Leaves
Materials: paper towels (or coffee filters) cut into leaf shapes; markers; eye droppers and water or a spray bottle with water.
Have the children color their leaf shapes with any or all colors.
When done, have them spray (or use eye droppers with water) the shapes.
The colors spread and look beautiful!
Or
Use Leaf Bracelets:
Before going outside, wrap a piece of masking tape, with the sticky side out, around each child's wrist. While outside, have the children add pieces of leaves and twigs to the tape for a fall bracelet!

Place them on newspaper to dry--the marker will bleed through and stain a table--I'm just sayin'! If this does happen, Germ-X or Purell get marker off tables pretty well! ;)

Leaves We See
Materials: Place the different types of leaves, twigs and branches that are in your area during Autumn into or on your science table with magnifying glasses for the children to observe. Provide paper and markers or crayons for the children to draw what they observe!
Leaf BlowingPlace a leaf on one end of the table. Have the children use their straws to try and move the leaves to the other side, like the fall leaves! Try putting lots and lots of leaves and just let them blow them around!
