Virtual Learning Idea: Leaf Man

Created on September 30, 2022 by lightARTed



There is a book by Lois Ehelert called, “Leaf Man” and is written for young children. However, the pictures in the book can be made by everyone of all ages and is a great art project for the fall. You will not need any art supplies, just leaves and sticks that you can find in your yard!
