Leaf Rubbing Placemats

C and R did not have school today, and we had absolutely gorgeous weather!  We spent some time outside enjoying the day, and the kids picked up some leaves for this project.


They began by taping leaves all over a piece of paper.


Then, they placed another piece of paper on top and used the side of crayons to create leaf rubbings.


Once they were done, I covered the paper with clear contact paper to create placemats.

I like R's hat! It's always so much easier to be creative when you're dress appropriately :)

This is classic. This year is the first time Anna is somewhat interested in this activity and manages to hold the paper in place. The results look so pretty!
