We brought our Young Toddlers outside to collect a variety of leaves! We laminated the leaves and hung them on our bright, yellow wall in the classroom, conveniently at the student's eye level. By laminating the leaves, our students were able to examine the colors and feel the texture of the leaves without damaging them.
We taped the laminated leaves onto a table and placed a white sheet of construction paper on top. Our Young Toddlers created a beautiful collage of leaves by scribbling over the laminated leaves with crayons. We hung the collage in the window, allowing light to shine through the white paper, making the collage really visible.
In addition to the collage, our Young Toddlers also created Fall leaves using diffusion paper and red, orange and yellow water colors. They also decorated Fall coloring pages using crayons, dot paint and stickers.
Fall and Science: Pumpkin and Gourd Fizzle Painting
We introduced both Fall and Science to our Young Toddlers with Pumpkin and Gourd Fizzle Painting! We mixed baking soda with red, orange and yellow Tempura paints and instructed our students to each paint their own pumpkin and gourd. Using a straw (or droppers if available), our students watched while we let drops of vinegar fall onto the painted gourds and pumpkins, creating a bubbling, fizzling reaction the students loved!
