Leaf is a wonderful thing

This resource focusses on making leaf prints and developing knowledge of the main parts that make up a leaf. Trees and their leaves are an important part of our natural environment, this interactive and practical activity allows children to use their science knowledge to better understand them and the environment around them. In this activity learners will make a leaf print. They will use different types of leaf and different coloured paint to make it look visually attractive. They will also develop and reinforce their knowledge of the different parts of a leaf by labelling it. All resources required to run this activity are provided, including a presentation, activity sheet and teacher guide.
