Outdoor Hour Challenge #17- Leaf Parts

This week in our Nature study we focused on leaf parts. Although we did not look at garden flowers we utilized the Outdoor Hour Challenge #17 to study the parts of a leaf. It worked out well that we had participated in Home Depot's Kids Workshop, earlier this month, where the boys each made a leaf press.
The boys really liked watching Barb's tutorial of how to draw a leaf. After viewing the tutorial they were eager to try it out for themselves.


While drawing their leaves we talked about each leaf part and practiced using the proper names.


We were all very satisfied with the end results. Thanks Barb!

What a great project from Home Depot! You will get a lot of use from that press over the years.

Your leaf drawings are works of art. So pretty.

Thanks for sharing your post,
