Autumn is a second spring, where every leaf is a flower. I thought that was a nice quote to go along with this craft.
Mama Geek at What Works for Us, one of my readers and bloggie friend asks: "Do you have any ideas for crafts with leaves? PLEAZE?!? :)"
My son did this is school last week and it turned out so pretty so I thought I would share it
You will need: Leaves, wax paper, crayons, grater, iron, hole punch and string.
Have the kids gather some leaves.
Grate the crayons.
Lay out a piece of wax paper and sprinkle on crayons pieces and put on the leaves.
Put another piece of wax paper on top.
Iron with the iron on a low setting.
Allow to cool.
Punch a hole through the top of the wax paper. Tie a string through the hole for a hanger.
They are very pretty, the pictures do not due them justice.

and your get better soon for McKenna.
These are wonderful. I'm gonna Stumble this post. :)
Ohh..I know what at project we are going to do tomorrow.
We've done these before and I love them. Another idea is leaf rubbing, where you put a leaf under paper and scribble over the top and it makes a leaf rubbing or pattern. It's a fun thing kids can do all by them selves!
Hiya! I haven't visited your blog in a while, but you always have the greatest ideas. Thank you!
I love this! you know I like anything to do with science and this gives me a good reason for a nature walk!
BTW. I forgot to say I'm totally STOKED to try this. I've had it bookmarked and have yet had time to TRY it. I do sincerely think you are BEYOND AMAZING. I'll post some photos when I get to it!
That's awesome....seriously. We have a bout 8 gajillion crayon butts that would rock this. Great idea! Thanks!!
this is something that even I think I can do...good craft, thanks for sharing.
If Mama Geek says it can be done by we, the less-than-crafty, than I am going to give it a whirl. This looks great.
Um, WOW! Coming to you from Mama Geek
Awesome, we have wax paper hearts and eggs strung and hanging in the window - but never thought of that.
Came over from MamaGeek
