Tracing with leaves
Tracing leaves:
This is a fun art activity you can do with your toddler that doesn’t involve much mess! All you need are some leaves, paper and crayons.
1
Collect leaves of various shapes and sizes. You can use fresh leaves or dried fallen ones.
2
Place a leaf with its bottom side facing up.

3
Put a sheet of paper, preferably thin or lightweight, over the leaf.
4
Rub the side of a crayon gently on the area over the leaf. As you do this, you’ll see the coloured areas start to take the shape of the leaf.

5
Remove the leaf from under the paper. This completes the basic steps for making a leaf tracing.
6
Make more leaf tracings using other colours and different leaf shapes.
