Leaf Craft Ideas

These leaf crafts are here just in case you are lucky enough to find fallen leaves. They can be used with the themed coloring pages above.

We tried to collect as many different leaves and colors as we could find from our walk.

If you are lucky enough to find some leaves, check out our favorite leaf crafts. If you live somewhere with no fallen leaves as we do now. Carry on reading for our free leaf coloring pages.

Craft supplies needed:

• Different shapes and color of leaves
• Colored paper
• Watercolor paints
• Sharpies
• Colored Crayons
• Glue

First of all, we decided to draw around the outline of the leaves with a sharpie. Check out the tongue!! The absolute concentration here.

I let my son decide how to decorate them. He has only recently started enjoying arts and crafts. In fact only since we have been homeschooling. Check out our recent post on our favorite homeschool art curriculum, it has certainly helped.

With the green leaf, he decided to place the leaf at the back of the picture and gently rubbed it to get the detail of the leaf underneath.

The orange leaf he created with finger painting, and while wet he used a pencil to create the detail.

The others he wanted to color as brightly as possible!

The next thing we did was draw around my son’s hand and arm to create the tree shape.

When they have completed this why not create their own tree handprint too?

We then used some glue to stick the smaller leaves to the branches.

With white glittery paint, he added fingerprints to the tree and branches. To be fair if we had brown finger paint we would have used that instead!!

I think we will be adding more paint to his Christmas gift list!

The next project was to create a pretty picture with the leaves.

The last project was drawing around the leaf with a sharpie and drawing the lines from the leaf onto the picture.
