 Make A Leaf Man
Here's a Leaf Man made by a
former student.
Try to collect the best
leaves you can find. Lay them inside layers of paper towels to
dry. Put a heavy book on top to help keep leaves flat. Glue
the leaves on paper. Take a picture while leaves are still fresh!
If you have access to a color
copy machine, copy your leaves , cut them out and use in your project.
That's the method Lois Ehlert used making her book.
Another idea is to scan your
dried leaves and print out with colored printer. These paper
leaves look terrific too. Cut them out
and make your Leaf Man. We used this leaf image for a booklet
cover.

You can print out a page of Leaf Man
stickers! This is found on the author's page.
We used them in a similar writing activity in 2006, the first year we found the book.
