Use the eight activity cards
Gather: the linked three-page PDF, US Letter paper, scissors for an adult, supplies on the chosen card.
- Print pages 2–3 for the eight cards; page 1 is the preview. This file contains prompts and brief steps, not eight fully tested tutorials.
- Choose one card, then gather only its listed supplies. An adult reads the prompt and checks materials before offering it.
- For leaf collage, arrange the leaves on cardstock first, then lift one at a time to add glue. Let the adhesive set according to its label.
- Keep loose natural materials and cut pieces out of the reach of children who mouth objects. Display the finished paper work after it dries.
