Autumn painting for toddlers

When my oldest daughter was a toddler, we went on a nature walk to hunt down some amazing fall leaves on Thanksgiving day. (Remember, Thanksgiving is in October here in Canada). We found tons of brightly coloured leaves, but I didn't know what to do with them.

Sally on Instagram: "Fall Leaf Printing Check out @raisinglittlejess for more easy art & craft ideas! This is such a great, low-prep fall activity. Ahead of the activity, I pressed a few leaves that Jessica had collected between some old magazines to flatten them out. We then covered them in paint using our @littlebrianpaintsticks. We made sure to place some scrap paper under the leaves when we painted them to minimise the mess on the table. Don’t forget to save for later!!"
