Crayon leaf rubbings

How to make it

1.

   Hunt for leaves

   Take a walk and collect leaves that are still soft and flat. Crunchy ones crumble.

   Lay leaves bumpy side up

   Put the leaves on the table with the veiny side facing up. That side makes the best prints.

   Cover with paper

   Lay the paper on top and tape the corners to the table so it can't slide.

   Rub with the side of a crayon

   Hold the crayon flat on its side and rub back and forth. The leaf shape will pop up under the color.

   Switch colors

   Try a new crayon for each leaf. Overlapping colors look like a real fall forest floor.
