During
the fall, have your students collect leaves from outside. Once
inside, they can take a piece of white paper and place it on top
of the leaf. Then take a crayon and color over top of it. The
image of the leaf will appear now on the paper. Have your students
cut them out and hang in the classroom. This is a very simple
project, but small children are absolutely amazed at the results!
In
science, older children can take their leaf rubbings and label
what type of leaf it is. They could also exchange them with friends,
before labeling, and see if others can guess the name of that
leaf.
