Fun Fall Craft for Kids

Mother Nature provides some of the most incredible beauty, so why not decorate your home in Autumn fashion with a fun craft for your kids? This leaf stained glass window is fun, easy-to-do and a great Fall decoration!

What you need:

1. Leaves (you can go on a leaf hunt outside to find the prettiest leaves)
2. Heavy book to press leaves
3. Crayons
4. Wax paper
5. Construction Paper
6. Scissors (to be used by adult only)
7. Iron (to be used by adult only)
8. Thin cloth

Directions:

1. Pick your leaves the day before you will do your craft. Carefully put them in-between wax paper in a heavy book so they will be pressed.
2. Cut two pieces of wax paper. Place one piece of wax paper waxy side facing up.
3. Arrange leaves on wax paper but keep them about 1/2 inch from edge of wax paper.
4. Take shavings from crayons & spread them around the leaves (you can use the sharpener on the crayon box or use a small pencil sharpener to create shavings).
5. Put the other piece of wax paper on top of your leaf window with the waxy side facing down on the leaves.
6. Put a thin cloth over the wax paper & iron over it with an iron set on a medium setting. You want to make sure you don’t iron over it too quickly, but give the crayon shavings a chance to melt & blend.
7. Finish off with a border made from construction paper & trim the excess wax paper from the edges.
8. Hang in your window & enjoy!
