Leaf Rubbings!

We gathered some leaves outside to make leaf rubbings!

 That leaf on the low branch looked perfect...  :)

We gathered several different shapes and sizes of leaves.

We tried to find leaves without holes and ones that were not too dry and brittle.

We placed a leaf with the vein side up under a piece of drawing paper.  Then we rubbed a crayon on its side and gently colored on the paper over the leaf to "draw" the leaf design on the paper.

We used pretty fall colors ~ red, orange, golden yellow, green, and brown.

Elli did leaf rubbings for a fall scene with a tree, acorns, and a squirrel.  ;)
