Contacted Leaves


Do you remember doing this when you were little?

This is a great activity that promotes discussion and develops observation skills. 


Select some leaves from your garden or the local park. 
Carefully place each leaf on the sticky surface of clear contact. 


Place another layer of clear contact over the leaves and trim the edges. 


Smooth out any bubbles or creases. 


Hang for display and discussion. 

Here are some of the questions you can ask your little one at the conclusion of making this activity. 

*What is the difference between this leaf and this leaf? 
* Which leaf is the largest/smallest?
*What colours can you see? 
*How many leaves have we displayed? 

Love to hear more of your ideas. This one is inspired by Crayon Freckles
