As the weather is changing, we are thinking about the turning of the seasons at Heathlands. The leaves are changing colour and starting to fall, the nights are drawing in and its becoming chilly.
Today we have been making patterns and pictures using leaves and crayons. These rubbings can also be made with textures around your home, think about coins, baskets, keys or even cutlery!
Below are written instructions and a how to video:
You will need:
- Paper
- Wax crayons
- Leaves
Step 1
Collect your leaves. Try to get ones that aren’t too dried out as they will crumble. If your leaves are wet, dry them off.
Step 2
Place a leaf under your paper with the bottom, textured side of the leaf facing up.
Step 3
If your crayons have paper wrappers on them, take them off and pick a colour. Turn the wax crayon on it’s side and rub the crayon over the paper where the leaf is with pressure.
Step 4
Repeat step 3 with different leaves and different colours and fill your paper.
