Suggested Family Activity 🍁 Leaf Prints
Make decorative leaf prints today using just paint and paper. Head outside and look for a fallen leaf that has a pretty shape. Since you might get messy with this project, have fun working on it outside, such as on a sidewalk, porch, or other flat outdoor surface. Cover the area with newspapers, an old sheet, or plastic tablecloth to help with accidental spills and to make clean-up go faster.
Start by using a paintbrush to coat one side of the leaf with paint, then press the leaf onto a piece of paper. Press down long enough to make sure all the paint transfers to the paper. Plain white paper will show the paint color to its best advantage, but you can experiment with colored construction paper to get different results.
