Directions:

• First download and print the LEAF TEMPLATE LISTED ABOVE on a single sheet of white cardstock paper {or any color you like!}
• Next, if desired, you can cut the leaf template out with scissors before or after you paint them. Just food for thought – waiting to cut the leaf out after it’s painted, could leave you with less mess with little ones :-)
• Now it’s time to paint! Let the kids go wide and paint their little hearts out! Remember – the more paint, the better! Set aside to let it dry when done.
• For added flair {and more crafty fun} have children add glitter glue or glitter around the edges of the painted watercolor leaves.
