1. Make a collage from leaves and plant material.

2. Do a crayon rubbing.

Select a beautiful leaf and lay a piece of paper over it. Don’t let them move. Turn your crayon sideways and rub over the leaf. I would sign your name and hang it on the wall.

Rake all the leaves and plant material 100 feet from your house for fire safety. It is always important to keep 50 to 100 feet clear around your house. Ask an adult to help you trim the lower branches of any trees.
