Bring Autumn's beauty indoors with leaf-printed place mats.

Materials

• Glue or glue stick
• Construction paper
• Acrylic paint and brushes
• Con-Tact paper

• Scissors
• Leaves
• Camera

Instructions

1. Start with a pile of leaves, some energetic kids and a camera. After the pictures are developed, pick one that captures the spirit of the day and glue it onto a place mat-sized piece of paper.

2. Decorate the border with drawings or leaf prints (lightly paint the back of a leaf with acrylic paint, then press onto the paper).

3. Once dry, laminate with clear Con-Tact paper or, for about $3 each, splurge and have the place mats professionally laminated at a copy shop.
