Materials:

Contact paper (clear)

Colored tissue paper

Permanent marker

Double-sided tape

Scissors

Ruler

*Children should have adult supervision throughout this activity.

How To:

1. Cut two pieces of contact paper into 5” X 5” squares.

2. Place double-sided tape on the dull side of one square and secure the square to a table or flat surface.

3. Peel off the contact paper backing so the sticky side faces up.

4. Cut or tear small pieces of different colored tissue paper and place them on the sticky side of the contact paper square until completely covered.

5. Place the second square on top of the first square (sticky side down) so the tissue paper is sealed between the two contact paper squares.

6. Trace a leaf shape onto the contact paper squares.

7. Cut out the shape to make a colorful fall leaf.

8. Use tape to adhere the leaf to a window where the sun will shine through it!
