š Colorful Fall Leaf Press Project š
Leaves come in many shapes and sizes. You will find the biggest (undivided) leaf on the giant edibleĀ arum.Ā This is the perfect time of year to head outside with your kiddos and talk about the different types of trees where you live.
For this project any of the Do A Dot Art! Markers will work perfectly. For our project, we used ourĀ Rainbow and Brilliant markers to reflect the different colors of fall leaves! And using different box sets gives you a great opportunity to find just the right shades for the trees where you live.
Take this chance toĀ learn more about trees and the different types of trees that grow in your area. And, unlike some trees that can cause allergies, Do A Dot Art! productsĀ are soy, gluten, wheat, tree nut, casein, peanut, egg, and dairy free, andĀ do not contain latex.
