Materials:
a variety of leaves
basic printer/copier paper

Optional: I used Press and Seal plastic wrap under the leaves to keep them from slipping all around my desk. You can use the leaves by themselves if you prefer.

*** I have not personally tried them, but they should be real leaves with some of the veins and stems you'd get from a leaf you pick up from outside.

Tip: leaves should have pretty stiff stems. If your leaves are too soft, they won't always show through when you rub with the crayons. Instead, try small twigs from bushes or allow your leaves to dry so they harden a bit.

Are you having trouble with this project? If there is no design showing up after rubbing with the crayon, try a different brand of crayon. Some crayons are very waxy and they do not color well. Other ideas: Try a different crayon, press down a little more onto the paper or try a different leaf.
