What You Need:
- A collection of leaves from outside
- White paper
- Stack of heavy books
- Heavy paper
- Glue
Instructions:
- Collect many types of leaves. The Fall season is perfect for the most beautiful colors of leaves.
- Lay the leaves between sheets of paper.
- Lay a heavy stack of books on the paper and press for one week.
- Glue the leaves onto sheets of heavy paper for a wonderful collection of leaves that will last a very long time!
If you want, you can do some research and try to identify what kind of tree they came from.
Why do you have to press the leaves for a whole week? It’d take a long time to just glue a little leaf. What’s the big deal?
