A little Crafty

Last night was rainy and cold... so we were stuck inside with an anxious energetic toddler. So I put on my thinking hat and we did a craft project.

I used to do this project with my mom when I was little. You pick out a few pretty leaves that have fallen to the ground... 3 to 4 red yellow and orange crayons, a crayon sharpener, an Iron, and some wax paper.

Cut out two peices of wax paper that are large enough to sandwich one to two leaves. Using the crazyon sharpener, create small bits of the colored crayon that you can put under and on top of the leaves but in between the wax paper.

After creating enough, sprinkle them under and on top of the leaf.

Put a face cloth or dish towel on top of your wax paper/leaf sandwich and iron. (some crayon wax may come through so be sure you don't use your favorite dish towel, if there is such a thing).

Once cooled, cut around the shape of the leaf. Either punch a hole in it to hang with yarn or string, or tape directly to the window. Voila!! Instant leaf art :)
