Ways to use it

• Cutting practice: Start with the dotted-line versions, which give children a simple path to cut, then move to the plain outlines.
• Leaf hunt: Take a nature walk to collect real leaves, then compare them to the four printed shapes and find the closest match.
• Fall colors: Paint or sponge-print the leaves in red, orange, yellow and brown, then sort the finished leaves by color.
• Thankful tree: Have each child write something they’re thankful for on a leaf and add it to a paper tree.
• Leaf rubbings: Lay a real leaf under the template page and rub over it with the side of a crayon to fill the shape with veins and texture.
• Stencils: Print on cardstock and cut out the shapes so children can trace leaves for their own fall art and collages.
