Step by step

  1. Draw a large leaf with a thick outline. Ask your child to choose two colours to fill it.
  2. Tear the scraps into pieces. Start a tear for a toddler. Arrange the pieces inside the leaf before gluing.
  3. Glue the pieces down. A preschooler can leave a narrow gap for the main vein and point out where it branches.
