LEAF COLLECTION  

Materials
Leaves
Cardboard
Heavy book
Glue
Inexpensive 3 Ring binder
Card Stock

Lay your leaves between layers of cardboard. Put a heavy book on top to press the leaves until
they are dry. Check on them once in a while to make sure they are ok. When completely dry,
mount them on pieces of cardstock that have holes punched in them. Place pages into your
binder. Another way to protect your leaves on the cardstock is to get plastic sleeves to slide the
cardstock into.

Paper plates, cardboard, wood circle, plastic, or play plates
