We collected some leaves while we were out today and decided to use them to make an echidna. First I drew an outline of the echidna.
Then I gave the children the leaves and some glue to finish making their little echidnas. I had thought that the gum leaves would create fantastic spines...and so they did, only the spines the children wanted to make were lying down because the echidna is our friend.
heehee how cute are those spines lying down and what a cool idea to have a 'picture' for the kids to decorate w their leaves! lily collected a bunch of leaves today and was gluing them but would be extra fun to draw a picture for her to decorate - love these ideas you share!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what Lily makes with her leaves :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm constantly trying to think of some way to use all the treasures the kids collect. Let me know if you have any ideas for pebbles- I have piles of these around the house and the kids won't let me put them outside again!
