It’s a fun way for preschoolers and kids of all ages to develop creativity, motor skills, and focus.
Autumn Display
Use the leaves you have coloured in above to create an autumn display. You may need to colour in a few more though. Stick them on a large piece of paper in a design that looks like lots of fallen leaves.
You could get really creative and draw a tree, place some leaves on the branches, some falling from the tree, and big piles on the floor.
