Art: Leaf Rubbings

• • 
• I have seen so many wonderful leaves floating around while I have been out walking around my neighbourhood! If you collect some interesting shaped leaves, and use a piece of paper and some colouring pencils or crayons, you can make leaf rubbings. Cover the leaf with paper and use the side of the crayon or pencil to shade on the paper over the leaf. If you press hard enough, you will be able to see the shape of the leaf and the veins in the leaf. Remember to hold your paper really still, so that the leaf rubbing works! If you make a few leaf rubbings, you could cut them out and make a picture with them, or put them in a circle to make a wreath! I'd love to see your artwork!
