Leaf Suncatcher

Here's another fun and easy fall craft you can do with your little one.  For this craft all you need is some clear contact paper, yarn or string, a hole punch, and a collection of fallen leaves.

First, take a little nature walk and collect some leaves.  Try to find leaves that are newly fallen and not dried out. 


Next, cut a long rectangle from the contact paper.


Then, peel off the backing to half of the contact paper and start arranging your leaves on the sticky side.


When you are finished, peel off the rest of the backing and fold the contact paper over, sticky side to sticky side. 

Decide how you would like to hang your leaf suncatcher and use the hole punch to punch two holes at the top.  String through a length of yarn or string and tie a knot.  Then hang in the window for all to see!

  2. Great Fall craft for the little ones. Another upside is the more sun catchers they make....the less leaves there are to rake!
