Leaf Man


I love this story.........OK .....I love any story by Lois Elhert.......but this is really one of my favorites. 

  For years I have tried to make different types of Leaf Men.  

When you make leaf men with real leaves.....they just crumble up.  I tried to laminate them.....not a good idea.  

Then I tried construction paper......ok but fake looking.   

But this year it came to me as I was walking down the hall.  
My partner teacher made leaves like these....



So....... I had my kids make the leaves out of coffee filters and we created 
Leaf Men 
with them.





I laminated the coffee filters.   The children made the faces with leaves I punched out of sticky tape.
