Learning with Leaves: A Hands-On Art Activity
Leaves, paint and notebook pages become creative learning materials as children arrange shapes and add their own details in this education gallery.

Added to this website: . This is separate from the activity or camera date.A handful of leaves can become the starting point for an art activity. The photographs show children positioning leaves on paper, sharing small paint pots and using brushes to add colour and detail to their designs.
Some frames focus on one learner’s work; another shows several children creating side by side. Leaves of different shapes are placed together before painted features are added. Open pencil cases and notebooks form part of the working space.
The activity offers a practical setting for discussing shapes, arranging materials and expressing an idea through a picture. Each child’s page develops differently, even when the group uses similar materials. The photographs record this process rather than an assessed learning outcome.
The finished-work galleries continue the story with the designs children chose to present. This update focuses on the making stage, giving readers a view of creative education alongside the reading and writing activities in the same collection.
