Art - Autumn leaf

Water group children were invited to observe the arrival of Autumn. The story "Leaf Jumpers" by Carole Gerber was read to the children. We discussed the colours of Autumn leaves. 

Using masking tape to cover the part we do not want to paint was the technique we used to create the veins on a leaf. The children carefully taped out the veins.

The children were encouraged to mix food colouring with eye-droppers and paint brushes on their Autumn leaves.
