Leaf Rub

October 21st, 2008


Nature For Kids says…get outside today and go for a hike to collect some fall leaves! Then get ready to do a leaf rub.

What you need to make your leaf rub:

  • Paper
  • Color Crayons (orange, red, yellow, brown)
  • Leaves

#1 Take the leaves and place them under the paper, vein side up.

#2 Removing the crayons paper and laying it on it’s side rub the crayon over the top of the paper where the leaves are.

You can also do this with foil rather than paper and make a leaf indention rather than a colored picture.

There you have it! A beautiful leaf rub to display during the changing season. While doing this activity talk with your kids about why leaves change color in the fall . It’s a great way to encourage Nature For Kids.
