Turn the leaves you collect into people, animals, objects, and fun designs.

You’ll need:

• Hunt for a variety of leaves.

• Press the leaves between newspaper, waxed paper, or recycled grocery bags, and place heavy books on top of them overnight.

• Use the leaves to create your person, animal, object or design in creative ways. Consider making a background with colored pencils or watercolor paint.

• Once you like your design, glue it to construction paper and add extras like wiggly eyes and hair (yarn). 

• Cover with waxed paper and put a few books on top to keep the leaves in place for an hour or so.

• Hang it up or give it away!
