Have Your Children Create Fall Leaves For Your Windows.

                                                 The Children always enjoyed the results of making these colorful leaves and how the light shined through them when we put them on the windows. You will need, colored paper, scissors, basic glue and tissue paper. You can choose as many or as little colors for the colored paper and the tissue paper.  We used green, yellow, brown, red and orange colors for the leaf paper.  Have the children cut out the outside of the leaf. Next have them fold on the dotted lines and cut the inner part out that is for to show the colored tissue paper to show through. After they cut the middle part have them open the leaf.  It is probably best that you have the tissue paper cut into squares ahead of time. Make the squares about at least an inch larger than the colored leaf. So after they glue it they would be able to cut around the leaf after the glue dries.  So once the leaf is opened up you can put glue around the outer edges and place a piece of colored tissue paper on top of the first leaf. Then place glue around and on the tissue paper and place another leaf of the same shape on top of that.  So you should have two outer leaves. One in the front of the tissue paper and one on the back. After it dries cut the excess tissue paper away so you again can see it is a leaf.   (Please remember to read all instructions before doing this art project.)  Most of all have fun. =)
