Inspired by my previous post, I have created a series of 6 doodle sheets that are free to download. I have produced them at A5 size (though they could be made smaller or larger if you choose) and they can either be printed off and used as they come, or trimmed and laminated to make re-usable doodle sheets, as illustrated here. If laminated, they should be used with special dry-wipe pens to allow them to be wiped clean. I also punched a hole in the corner of each sheet and tied them together using a keyring so that I could carry them about more easily. You are free to use these however you choose (except commercially of course!) However if you do wish to use them, please consider making a small donation to help support my personal blog. You can do this by clicking on the button below, or by using the Ko-Fi widget in the sidebar. To get your doodle sheets just click on the each image to open up the full size image, then right click to download a copy.

Kids will be WOWED with this hands-on, fall science experiment where they will explore Why do Leaves Change Color for kids! Fun Leaf Activity!
We don't do a lot of finger painting in our classroom, but we probably should! The children love to stick their hands and fingers into the paint - even when supplied with brushes and instructions to use them! :) This past week, I thought, why fight it? Painting is fun, but indulging in the act of dipping hands and fingers into the paint makes it an awesome sensory experience, as well! So we did some fall tree finger painting and saw quite the variety of results! There were trees with small fingerprint leaves evenly distributed around the page... trees with large blobs of leaves and fully painted trunks and branches... and then there were the full-on hand smeared extravaganzas! That reminds me. You'll want to have paint smocks on hand as well as some damp paper towels for finger wiping at the table! But surprisingly, the finger painting process was not much messier than when we use paint brushes. When I prepared this craft, I cut the tree shapes out of brown paper. The students then glued the tree cut outs onto a blue page before they started painting. Another option would be to print copies of a tree image on blue paper and then have the children do the painting directly on the page. The students could then colour or paint the tree trunk AND add the leaves. (And you would save time by not having to cut anything out!) If you'd like to try this craft in your classroom, you may want to download the free tree printable below. And if you'd like to try a similar, but more involved project, you may want to download this page of 4 trees. Your class could paint one for each season! If you decide to try worksheet #2, you may want to do one tree at a time to avoid confusion (and lots of smudging!) Since the trees on this printable are smaller, you may also want to consider having the students paint the leaves on these trees with a Q-tip rather than their fingers - or at least offering the suggestion! To be notified of more ideas and freebies like this, just click on the sidebar of my blog to receive my posts by e-mail. I post a couple of new ideas every week!
