This rhyme only calls for 5 leaves, so I have one in reserve! I found this rhyme on an older post at Mel's Desk. I also got the idea for the second guessing activity from there too!
The leaf shapes came from a couple of templates found here and here. The first link is from a tutorial to make a very attractive felt Thanksgiving Garland, the second is from a range of fall activities at the fabulous site, Enchanted Learning.
5 Little Leaves |
5 little leaves in the tall, tall tree
As bright and pretty as they can be
Along came the wind
Blowing all around
And one bright leaf
Fell to the ground
Four little leaves…
Three little leaves…
Two little leaves…
One little leaf...
Little Mouse Guessing Game
Little mouse, little mouse,
Are you behind the red leaf ... ?
Little mouse, little mouse,
Are you behind the orange leaf ... ?
Little mouse, little mouse,
Are you behind the brown leaf ... ?
One Little Mouse |

Your little mouse is so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, the veins on the leaves are so striking! Very nice! And I agree, the mouse is extra cute.
ReplyDeleteVery nice use of puffy paint for those veins.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. I'm pleased the way the paint turned out. I had a couple of duff ones though - perhaps we should have an Out-Takes Edition?
ReplyDeleteThese are really beautifully done. Could be used for various autumn-related activities. Very impressed...
