Activity: Nature Collage Art

Fall is here, and the leaves are everywhere in all shapes, sizes, and colors! Grab some leaves off the ground and see what shapes you can create.

You will need:

-A thick piece of paper

-Glue (preferably liquid glue that dries clear)

-Leaves of different shapes, colors, and sizes

Instructions:

Step 1. Go outside to a park, or walk around your neighborhood to collect some leaves, flower petals, or both. Make sure they’re safe to touch, and bring an adult with you!

Step 2. Get your piece of paper and arrange the leaves however you want. Make some animals or people with the leaves!

Step 3. Glue the leaves down into place.

Step 4. Let the glue dry and admire your art! You can add onto the art with paint, markers, or any other coloring utensil, or just leave it the way it is.

What kind of shapes did you make? What kinds of leaves did you find outside?
