BOOKS: Lois Elhert's Leaf Man really inspired us this year! The creative way in which she lays out the leaves as illustrations is really beautiful. After reading this book, we just had to try to make our own leaf characters. We also enjoyed reading Elhert's Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf. And Fall Leaves Fall! by Zoe Hall is also a really nice book for preschoolers about this season and the best part of fallen leaves -- jumping in them!


ACTIVITY: Leaf Characters
Leaf Man really inspired us to create. We started by making a leaf man, and then we made a cute leaf butterfly. I am sure that we'll be making many more leaf characters before the season ends.



very cute! we were just collecting leaves today too.
