SEASONAL BOOKMARKS
Have your child collect small colorful fall leaves and/or
small flower petals. Provide her with a 5"x8" piece of
clear self-stick paper (sticky side up). Have her place her leaves
and petals on the sticky paper, then cover it with another piece
of self-stick paper. Have your child press across the paper to remove
any air bubbles created. Trim the paper down to a 2"x7"
strip. You may be able to make two bookmarks from their art work.
