How would YOU animate a leaf attached to a stick?

So I’m working on animating a Deku Baba (this guy) from the zelda video games. At the base of him, I’d like to add some leaves, as well as to the back of his ‘head’.

Now, ideally these leaves would REACT to the movement of my armature. Does anyone have tutorials or such that could point me in the right direction?

Many thank!

Here’s a picture of the armature if that helps

The reacting to movement is using softbody. You could always parent the leaves to a bone or to the head.
