We picked leaves from outside for our Wreath of Gratitude. We then became scientists who studied the same leaves focusing on parts of the leaf like the edges and the main veins and small veins.

As artists, we practiced drawing our leaf before we drew it again. Then we used liquid glue to outline the shape and veins of our leaf. Learning about warm and cool colours and complementary colours, we learned about the technique of blending using pastels to colour in and shade from dark to light with our best tools – our fingers! Our fine motor skills got practice in so many ways with this art project and we exercised our artistic thinking skills too.
