Painted Autumn Leaves

Actual leaves this time. Another activity I completed with my class of 10 year olds. They looked fantastic hanging in our window - sadly down now as Autumn was in April and it was tricky photographing without getting a reflection. I did end up having to glue my two examples together after someone had fiddled with them and made a hole! :(

We PVAed the leaves first to make them stronger and stop them crumbling. Then painted designs and finished with gel pens and metallic Sharpies.
