First, collect some leaves, all shapes and sizes. If you don’t have any, I’m sure your neighbor won’t mind you taking some of theirs. Then I like to place the leaves onto contact paper and set a piece of heavy paper on top, sealing them in place like a sandwich. This step of contact paper helps preserve the leaves, so we can do this project again and again.
Now you’re ready to rub. Place a piece of plain white paper over the leaves and rub all over with a crayon. It’s fun to rub the crayon sideways, without it’s paper cover. That way you get more coverage.
My kids were amazed at how intricate the lines were on a leaf. It’s fun to see how a leaf pops out from the paper.
Make the most of your falling leaves and get to collecting.
