Take a closer look at leaves!

The Project Learning Tree activity, Looking at Leaves, has several fun art extensions. For example, instead of using fabric paint and stamps, use fallen leaves you have collected on a walk around the school grounds or to a nearby park. Lightly coat the leaves with paint and press squares of cotton cloth (or even an old T-shirt) on them to create colorful leaf print collages.

See the list below for more fall activities from the manuals.
