Total time: 30 minutes

Supplies

• Paper | a couple sheets

• Leaves | as many different kinds as you would like

• Crayons | several different colors

Directions

1. First go outside and find a couple leaves that you like to bring in.

2. Next place the leaves how you would like them under your paper.

3. Up against a hard surface use the crayons to rub against the paper where you placed your leaves. (We recommend that you unwrap the crayons and use the long sides, not the tips.)

4. This will reveal the pattern of the leaf below the paper.

5. Continue to do this with other leaves to reveal all sorts of patterns!
