Today we read the classic book
Leaf Man by Louis Ehlert. Then we headed out through the yard to look for a variety of fall leaves and treasures. On the leaf hunt Holly came across a little Wooly Bear caterpillar, we enjoyed it for a bit and then returned him to it's home. Once we had a good collection of leaves Holly spent some time drying them off and inspecting them.
Holly then carefully created her very own Leaf Man... it took several tries with various leaves, placing and replacing. Soon she had her final man organized and glued him down. Her pictured ended up being a mom and daughter she said, how sweet!
Love this! We are doing leaves next month and I will add this activity to the plans, thanks!!
