After a little fun with fall leaves on the flannel board, we explored a little fall leaf egg carton printing..
Making their Drawings
The children started by drawing their own fall tree branches on a sheet of paper…
Adding to their Creations
Then they dipped the bottom of a cut-up egg carton container into some red, yellow, or orange paint…
Next, they pressed the egg cartons on the paper to make fall leaf prints…
