Try your hand at printmaking by making pictures and other items using leaves.

Materials Needed:

• Leaves
• Paper Towels
• Styrofoam Plate, Meat Tray, or Other Shallow Dish
• Construction Paper
• Paint

Instructions:
Go for a walk and collect a variety of leaves. This is a great Autumn activity.

Fold a paper towel into fourths and lay it on the bottom of the styrofoam plate, etc. Pour paint into the center of the paper towel to make it into a stamp pad.

Dip the back side of the leaf into the paint. Dab it around on the paper towel to wipe off excess paint, and then press it onto the paper.

Make a whole collection of leaf pictures this way! You can also use fabric paint and make an apple print T-shirt, towels, etc!
