Inside: Looking for a fun preschool art activity that also strengthens fine motor development…with beautiful results? You will want to try this watercolor fall leaf art. We add this to our fall theme every year!
Beautiful Watercolor Fall Leaf Art Activity for Preschoolers
What you will need:
That’s it! Just 3 things.
Now, for those of you who’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you know I have this thing for pipettes. They are one of my very favorite fine motor tools in the preschool classroom. If you aren’t familiar with how I’ve used them, let me share:
- Heart Fine Motor Activity
- Water Transfer Activity
- Colored Waterfalls
- Watercolor Snowflakes
- Pinecone Painting
How to use them:
- Make a wreath! Cut the center out of a paper plate and glue the leaves on it. We love displaying these during our Thanksgiving Feast!
- Make a banner! String them together and hang across the mantle or a window.

Hi there Sheryl!
I’m a music teacher, and I work at a nursery school, teaching music to 2 to 5 year olds. I LOVE my job (though it’s not like a job to me), I really enjoy working with little ones.
It’s amazing what you can make with them, isn’t it? I’ll tell my colleagues about your idea: water colour leaves. Sounds great fun.
I;m glad I “descovered” you.
Have a nice week!
ooooh, darn, I missed this earlier and now we’re into Christmas projects! hahaha! Now, I get to save it for next year!!

I filled small spray bottles with water color and let the kiddos spray paint the filter leaves o the easel. They had great fun while building finger muscles!
Wonderful idea, Sue! And a great way to use the easel during the fall!
