Seasonal Changes

Foundation stage children looked at the seasonal changes and the colours of the autumn leaves. They used small brushes to paint a trees trunk and branches. After this we used our fingers to paint the autumn leaves.   Our creations are displayed on our art gallery.
Can you spot our hedgehogs? We used forks to print the spines.
