1st Grade- Texture leaves

This is a different approach on the texture leaf rubbings. We discussed texture and how texture is how something feels and how something looks like it feels. Together we drew a leaf in pencil and traced over it with sharpie. We then colored our leaves in using crayons. Next is he surprising part, it freaks out the kids a little. We crumble up our paper. We then smooth it out and crumble it up again and smooth it out. We then use a blue/glitter wash all over our paper. The wash soaks in on the folds making them more noticeable.
