Follow Leaf Man’s journey as he rides the autumn breeze! This is a great read to pair with a leaf activity! One of my favorites is leaf art, where students pick out a leaf, put a white piece of paper over it, and use a crayon to color. The shape of the leaf will appear as they color. Another fun activity is for them to create their own leaf man from items they find outside. These are great bulletin board hangers!
