Trees and their leaves are an important part of our natural environment, this interactive and practical activity allows children to use their science knowledge to better understand them and the environment around them. In this activity learners will make a leaf print. They will use different types of leaf and different coloured paint to make it look visually attractive. They will also develop and reinforce their knowledge of the different parts of a leaf by labelling it.
