Easy Fall Leaf Prints!
Fall is here along with its beautiful colourful leaves!
I love taking walks in nature and looking at this magical
time in nature! At school, we decided to gather freshly fallen
leaves (well the teachers did) and do some printmaking!
the kids ended up creating beautiful print and we even explored
the ideas of veins (you can see them so clearly in the prints!) with
a fun science experiment were we saw how veins help water travel
to the leaves, by changing the colour of celery leaves!
