I remember making leaf rubbings when I was little. It seemed magical to see the veins and lacy outlines appear as the crayon was rubbed across the paper. We have been working on quite a leaf collection on our walks home from school, so we decided to preserve some of them by making rubbings. To make your own leaf rubbing cutouts you will need:

*Various Fresh Leaves (These are less likely to crumble under paper).
*Card Stock
*Crayons with Wrappers Removed
*Scissors
*Hole Punch
*Twine

1. Place leaf under card stock.
2. Rub crayon above the leaf until outline and veins are clearly visible. Be sure to hold paper still so leaf doesn’t shift.
3. Cut out leaf shapes.
4. Punch hole in leaf shape and string up.

Happy Fall!

*Felt in various colors

*Scissors

*Card Stock or blank card

*Glue

*Crayon or Colored Pencil

*Vellum Envelope to fit card

1. Cut out petal shapes from felt.

2. Glue petals in circle to form flower and let dry.

3. Draw in stem and center of flower.

*These two cards would make great invitations for a May party.
