Fall or autumn is one of the most creative seasons of all! I
just love all the colors- the earth tones and the fall colored leaves. There are plenty of art projects that can be
accomplished just using leaves!
An Easy Leafy art project for home- Leaf Rubbings!
Supplies needed are crayons, leaves with obvious veins
poking out on their underside, paper- thin white copy paper is best. The
crayons can be any color. One year my first graders used Crayola Metallic
Twistables and their rubbings were quite pretty! A teacher can also use the
rubbings to teach fall colors or even how red plus yellow makes orange!
The directions are:
1.
Place the leaf upside down on a flat surface.
2.
Place the white paper on top.
3.
Rub a crayon on its side over the white paper
with one hand. Hold the paper and leaf under the paper in place with the free
hand.
4.
Remove the leaf when finished.
5.
Repeat the above steps, changing leaves and changing
colors of crayons.
