Scissor Skills with Jungle Leaves

Your children can make a lovely jungle or tropical vine with leaves from our Pond Coloring Club. They will practice scissor skills, snipping around the edge to create a fringe effect. 

 

Once cut, ask students to fold the little pieces gently back and forth to give the leaves some shape. You can attach them to string to dangle like a vine or attach them directly to your bulletin board or display.

If you have children still developing scissor control, enlarge the page (here I printed one at 160%) to provide them with a large leaf to cut. They can snip the edge, or use the lines as guides for making a larger leaf pattern.
