How do I use this activity?

This resource provides an engaging and creative way for children to share their ideas and experiences of nature by using leaves as a printing tool. The activity covers aspects of the National Curriculum of England in both Art and Science. There are three different plant related topics available: Plants Around Us, How Plants Grow, and Seeds and Lifecycles. The website offers great curriculum standard activities for your classroom or home educated children, so you can find plenty of subjects to choose from when planning your day.

In addition to the leaf printing activity, Hands-On Education provides resources that cover most points of the national curriculum for Year 2.
