Colorful fall leaves
wooden ice cream sticks
paper towels
old crayons pieces
waxed paper
paper clips
kitchen towel
iron
tape
Take your class on a walk outdoors and collect 4 or 5 fall leaves.
Give each child a ice cream stick, paper towel, and some pieces of
old crayon. Ask each child to make crayon shaving over the paper
towel by scraping the side of the ice cream stick against the crayon.
Each child should make a handful of shavings. Next, give your child 2
12"long pieces of waxed paper. Children will then arrange their fall
leaves on one of their pieces of waxed paper. Have the children
sprinkle colored wax in the spaces between the leaves.
Ask each child to lay a second piece of waxed paper on top of his or
her leaf arrangement. Use paper clips to attach each child pieces of
waxed paper together. Place a towel over the paper, to protect the
iron. Then set the iron at a low temperature and iron each child
arrangement. Then display in the window! |
