Leaf Pressing

We are excited to be doing some "leaf art" at preschool next week!  Hopefully you have all begun your leaf pressing process!  If not, here are a few quick tips.

1. Choose leaves that are mostly flat and not spotted
2. Place leaves in between pages of newspaper or paper towels
3. Place newspaper/paper towels inside the pages of a heavy book
4. Top with more heavy books and allow to sit for a few days

We will be making pictures with leaves so the more colors/shapes you can find the better!  Hopefully this activity will give you and your child a chance to get out in nature and have a little adventure together :)
