Easy leaf print peacock wall hanging Educator Prep: Before beginning the activity pour a small amount of paint on the paint lids. Allow one set for each pair of children. Lay down newspapers before you begin the activity. Tell children they are going to make leaf paintings. Display the leaves and describe what plant the leaves are from. Model for children how to paint and press leaves. Place a sheet of paper on the newspaper. Place a folded paper towel or cloth on the paper. Place a leaf on the paper towel. Paint the underside of the leaf. Make sure the entire leaf is covered. Gently flip the leaf (paint side down) onto the paper. Carefully press on the leaf to be sure the whole area of the leaf touches the paper. Peel the leaf off the paper. You should have an image of the leaf on your paper. Discuss the veins, ledges, etc., on the paper and compare them to the leaf. Repeat with the same leaf or with different leaves. Compare characteristics as children continue to press different leaves. Allow time for paintings to dry before hanging or sending home. #leafprint #artandcraft #diypeacockwallhanging #craftwithfun #leafcraft #summercraft #leafpaint #creativecraft #diyhalldecor
