Leaf art using fallen leaves (4 painting techniques)

[Autumn Crafts] Four Painting Techniques Using Fallen Leaves and How to Do Them [Nursery School/Kindergarten]
Leaf art using fallen leaves (4 painting techniques)

When you think of something that makes you feel autumn in the park, fallen leaves come to mind, right? Let’s all pick up lots of leaves and enjoy making leaf art together.

Glue the leaves onto drawing paper and imagine them as something to create your picture.

If you use a leaf as part of a fish’s body, you can add the tail and fins with crayons.

Small leaves can be used as people’s eyes, and then you can draw a face around them.

Also, if you lightly rub the back of a glued leaf with a colored pencil, the veins of the leaf will beautifully stand out.

You can observe the veins and have all sorts of conversations about them.

Fallen leaves are sure to spark children’s imaginations!

Fallen leaf art

[Genius] Fallen-leaf art is amazing! [Mastermind]

When summer ends and autumn arrives, many leaves that have turned red and yellow fall from the trees.

How about using those fallen leaves to create wonderful “leaf art”? You could gather lots of them and make a big picture outside, or bring home a few favorite leaves and paste them onto drawing paper to make your own artwork.

There’s no single right way to make art! Instead of just looking, it’s great to experience autumn for yourself like this.

It’s also fun to prepare a large sheet of paper and work together with many people to create one big picture.

I can’t wait to see what kinds of works you’ll make!

Leaf stamp

[Nature] 3 Leaf-Based Crafts to Try [Nursery School/Kindergarten]
Leaf stamp

Autumn is the season when countless leaves color the ground at your feet.

How about enjoying stamp art using small leaves, large leaves, leaves that are dry and crisp, or ones that have turned red and yellow? If the leaves are dirty, wipe them clean before using.

Paint the leaves with paint mixed on the thicker side with just a little water, then press them firmly onto drawing paper.

Stamp away in vibrant colors that evoke autumn leaves.

It also sounds fun to gather leaves together with the children.
