Ferns are a special kind of plant, and their leaves are very interesting. Fern leaves are called "fronds." They look like big, feathery leaves that are made up of lots of little leaflets. Imagine a big feather with lots of tiny feathers on it—that's what a fern leaf looks like!

Fern leaves are special because they grow in a unique way. When they first start growing, they look like little curls or spirals. As they grow, they slowly uncurl and open up, like a surprise! This makes them look very pretty and delicate.

Ferns like to live in shady, damp places. You might find them in forests, near rivers, or even in your garden if it's a bit wet and shady. They don't like too much sunlight, so they stay cool and happy in the shade.

Like all leaves, fern leaves help the plant make food. They catch sunlight and use it to make energy for the fern to grow. Fern leaves also help the plant breathe. They have tiny holes that let air in and out, just like our lungs!

Ferns are very old plants! They have been around for millions of years, even before dinosaurs! That makes them some of the oldest plants on Earth.

They don't have flowers or seeds like some other plants. Instead, they grow from tiny spores, which are like baby plant dust. Below we are going to learn how to draw a fern leaf, if you are interested then don't miss it, grab a pen and follow the tutorial!
