\n<\/div>\nThe Leaves Watercolor Cookie Cutter Painting is a great addition to the fall painting<\/a> and the cookie cutter crafts<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n Painting with a cookie cutter is an easy craft for kids to do.

A fun painting and fine motor activity for kids.<\/p>\n You can talk about the different types of leaf cookie cutters and great fall painting for kids.<\/p>\n We read the book Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf<\/a>. This has to be a our favorite fall book. I think we read it at least 4 or 5 times and do several activities every fall. This year is no different. This was the book they picked to go with this activity.<\/p>\n If you do activities with real leaves, learn how to preserve leaves<\/a>.<\/p>\n We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n You can see the steps below that we used to make the leaf watercolor painting.<\/p>\n You are going to take a leaf cookie cutter you want to start with. You are going to place the cookie cutter on the paper. You can place it anywhere on the paper.<\/p>\n You are going hold the cookie cutter on the top or the sides. It may depend on the cookie cutter you pick. You can see we are holding on the side of this one. <\/p>\n Then while holding the cookie cutter still we are painting inside the cookie cutter. You want to make sure to get the watercolor on the brush into all the different parts of the cookie cutter.<\/p>\n After you finish painting the leaf, you pick up the cookie cutter and look at it. You can see that it is in the shape of the cookie cutter and might have some areas that are not all filled in. But it is a fun fall leaf.<\/p>\n After you finish one leave you can pick a new leaf cookie cutter or use the same leaf again. You are going to add more leaves and colors to the paper. <\/p>\n While kids are painting it is okay if they only paint one leaf and color. Let them pick the leaf shapes and colors they want to do. And you can have leaves overlap each other. And it is fun to see the leaves after they are painted.<\/p>\n Watercolor Fall Tree<\/a> is a great fine motor activity while painting a tree. You use watercolors to make the leaves on the tree and background. You start with oil pastels for the tree trunk. This is a great mixed art project for kids of all ages.<\/p>\n Fall Tree Watercolor and Q-Tip Painting<\/a> is a great mixed art project for kids to do for fall.
