Ingredients
- Dry leaves (various shapes and sizes)
- White or construction paper

Instructions
- Place a dry leaf under a sheet of paper, with its raised veins facing up.
- Hold the paper still and rub a crayon over it using the side of the crayon.
- The leaf’s shape and veins should appear on the page.
- Try several leaf shapes and colors on one sheet, or cut the finished paper into cards.
- If the paper slips, tape one edge to the table.
- Use dry, fairly flat leaves for clearer impressions.
Notes
A curled or damp leaf may not produce a clear impression.
