Leaf Silhouette Painting 

This is such a simple but magical fall art and is a calming way to celebrate fall’s colors.

You’ll Need:

  • Real leaves (different shapes and sizes)
  • Washable paint (fall colors like red, orange, yellow, green)
  • Paintbrush
  • White paper or cardstock

Let’s Make it:

  1. Place a leaf flat on your paper.
  2. Use a brush to carefully paint around the edges of the leaf, covering all sides.
  3. Gently remove the leaf to see the perfect outline left behind.
  4. Try with different leaf shapes and colors all over your page.

Why We Love It:

  • Turns nature walks into creative adventures.
  • Encourages focus and patience as kids work around edges.
  • Teaches kids to notice details and shapes in the world around them.
