No reviews

Create beautiful impressions of leaves using crayons and paper, perfect for kids of all ages to explore the textures and shapes of nature.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • Dry leaves (various shapes and sizes)
  • White or construction paper
  • Crayons (various colors)
  • Tape (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place a dry leaf under a sheet of paper, with its raised veins facing up.
  2. Hold the paper still and rub a crayon over it using the side of the crayon.
  3. The leaf’s shape and veins should appear on the page.
  4. Try several leaf shapes and colors on one sheet, or cut the finished paper into cards.
  5. If the paper slips, tape one edge to the table.
  6. Use dry, fairly flat leaves for clearer impressions.

Notes

A curled or damp leaf may not produce a clear impression.
