How to Do leaf rubbings for a children's acitivity

In this Family video tutorial you will learn how to do leaf rubbings for a children's activity. For this you will need a flat surface. If the table top in slightly uneven, put a sheet of construction paper on it. The materials you will need are sheets of paper, crayons and leaves. You can also use fabric leaves if your area doesn't have any leaves. Take a leaf; put it upside down on a flat surface so that the veins are on top. Put a sheet of paper over the leaf and hold it down with one hand. With the other hand take a crayon and rub it back and forth and the leaf will be imprinted on the paper. Next you can use the same leaf or a different leaf and different color crayons for nice leaf imprints. You can watch the video for the full instructions.
