Leaves of Autumn

 Dried leaves are easy to sew and make a great garland for a harvest themed display.
The kids each picked out their leaves and threaded them.

We gathered a few extras to see if different coloured leaves made coloured rubbings.
Wondering if dead brown leaves held any colour, knowing that green leaves are full of chlorophyl and alive that they would definitely would transfer.

 It was a quick project but an effective one.

Indeed the leaves all gave off colour when rubbed.
Who knew?!
