Leaf Man in Autumn
Autumn is here, and all the beautiful leaves are falling from the trees. It would be a shame to let them just lie on the ground. How about making a fun Leaf Man?
What you'll need
- Plant pot
- Sand
- Branch
- Leaves
- Apple
- Googly eyes
How it works
-
Take a plant pot and fill it with sand to the top. Find a nice, sturdy branch and stick it firmly into the sand. This will be your man's trunk.
-
Now collect many colorful maple leaves or other leaves that autumn provides. Stick them onto the branch. This will be the colorful dress of your man.
-
At the top of the branch, place an apple as the head. With two googly eyes, your man will have eyes to see. As a crown, you can make him a hat. It could be a special leaf or maybe a rose hip.
-
Done! Look, from the leaves that would have landed on the ground, you have created a wonderful autumn artwork. Well done!
