We read Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf by Lois Ehlert
What you need: paper with tree on it, glue and yarn red, yellow & orange.
The girls put glue on the paper where they wanted the leaves to be.
Then they put their leaves on. Amelia had to make sure hers had falling leaves as well.
Every now and then they tested to see if all the yarn was staying on or needed more glue.
The yarn was pressed down to make it stick more to the glue.
The final product.
