These are leaf rubbing plates! You use them to make leaf rubs of all sorts of leaves! I love these because I can show my class so many different leafs using these rubs, even if I don’t have that type of leaf around. My pack came with a little paper that tells you which leaf is which! AWESOME!
This is also a HUGE help for my friends who struggle with their motor skills.SOme students are creating great fall leaf artwork while others are working on holding the paper and coloring with the right amount of pressure!
BEST yet- you can use these again and again!
What do you think of these leaf rubbing plates?
Mary, I have a set like this too and some insects. I'd love to have a whole series. It offers quick gratification for those whose output doesn't measure up to the concept in their heads! I think that Oriental Trading offeres several themed sets like this, including leaves. I haven't tried those so that isn't a reccomendation.
