Procedure
- Paint one side of a leaf (vein side up) and then press it onto paper, imprinting the paper with the leaf design.
- Or, create leaf stencil art by laying a leaf down on a piece of paper and painting over the edge of it onto the paper, creating an outline.

Press leaves between two heavy books. Leave them for two weeks. Make a collage or a book mark out of pressed leaves. Glue them onto notepaper to make notecards.
Students use brightly colored autumn leaves to create art pieces, in this arts & crafts project. This lesson plan is a great way to teach students about the changing seasons while encouraging creativity.
