Summer Leaf Prints

I came across the neatest summer craft - painted leaf prints. At first, I was a little hesitant to try it out, because every kid's craft I'd seen before involving leaves either didn't turn out quite right, or was too hard to do.

This activity was actually very simple, easy to do, and had a great outcome! All you need to do is pick out 2-3 flat leaves, hold them in place one at a time on some heavy paper, and paint around the leaf's edge with tempera paint. When you pick the leaf off of the paper, its shape is left white! To dress it up a little more, we added leaf veins by drawing them in with glue, and sprinkling glitter on top.
