F for fall: Leaf Trouble

My Prek classroom is starting lettter F

one of the books we are reading is

I love this book, it explains the change of seasons

and what happens in autumn

After reviewing fall colors

the kids made their own fall trees

painting their arm and hand with brown fingerpaints as the tree trunk

and pinching fall colors tissue paper for the leaves

as you can see some decided to make their own version

Pinching the tissue paper works on their fine motor skills

helping them with finger strengthening.

Enjoy!
