Love the creativity in this leave activity from Full Circle. The greatest part is how the activity combines art and the senses. Children crumple dry leaves and create their own masterpiece! Process art at its best!

These leaf prints from Kleas are gorgeous and so easy! Kids love this art activity. Go outside and gather leaves. Paint one side of the leave and make a gorgeous print.

One of my favorite blogs, Happy Hooligans, incorporates learning and movement into their fall activity.  How beautiful is this spiral of leaves?

I love the simplicity and honesty in working with younger children in this fall activity post by Gigi’s Joy. Another leaf printing idea but the post is worth the read!
