Falling Leaves

Falling Leaves by Ashton Reddick

Ages: 4-6

Materials Needed:
Red Paint
Yellow Paint
Green Paint
Brown Paint
Orange Paint
White Construction Paper
Paint Brush
Plates (for paint)


1. Put brown, yellow, orange, and red paint on seperate plates. (Here, I used powder paint but any paint will work)

2. Go ahead and paint the green grass on their papers so it will dry.
3. Allow time for painted grass to dry.

4. Paint the child's forearm. (For older children, you could let them paint a friend or their own forearm!)

5. Have the child spread their fingers and place their hand and forearm down on the construction paper.

6. Now instruct the children to use their fingers to paint different color leaves falling from the branches,

7. VOILA! Complete :)


<3 All of my students really enjoyed this project and their parents love anything that has to do with their hand or footprints, so I knew that they would enjoy it!
