Physical object

For my first activity I chose to do leaf printing with 3 to 4 year old children. I did this activity in the autumn because at this time the children were learning about autumn so the teacher thought it would be a good idea to do some leaf printing. The teacher had already collected some leaves so we used those for the printing. I set up the painting area by covering the table with the painting sheet and mixing the powder paints. The paints were autumn colours such as red, brown and orange. Most children were capable of listening to what they had to do without making too much mess.
