Magic Leaf Prints
An art project that's actually a craft and science lesson combined!
When laminated or covered with clear contact paper these make
a unique fall placemat!


You'll Need:
autumn leaves, colored construction paper, two stones and sunshine

How to:
Go for a walk with your child and pick out some fresh fallen leaves.
Lay them onto the colored paper and place a stone or some other weight
on top of the leaves to hold them in place. Leave the paper/leaves outdoors
in direct sunlight for a few hours. When you remove the stones and leaves,
your child will see the leaf print that was left behind.
As an additional project, add some coloring, stickers, glitter etc. and
cover the leaf- printed paper with clear contact paper or self
laminating to make a placemat.
