Nature Rubbings
We have all done this simple art project at one time or another. Share the memory with your child and enjoy the wonderful fall leaves!
Materials: piece of paper, assortment of leaves, pine needles, twigs,crayons (if you have old broken crayons, peel off the wrappers and they will work great)
To make your nature rubbing:
Arrange the leaves, pine needles and twigs that you have collected on the table.
Place another piece of paper over your arrangement
Use the side of your crayons to rub over the entire paper.
As you rub, you will see the outlines of your items appear like magic!
As a bonus, have your child add a caption to each rubbing telling the type of leaf, needle, etc.
