fall crafting

Do you remember doing this in school?
You know, collecting the first fallen leaves, or picking the pretty ones off the tree, and placing them between the shiny sides of wax paper and ironing them together.
We have a few leaves on the ground around here, mostly brown ones from oak trees and the ones with the five points are from sugar gum trees. Those at least look like maple leaves and have some interesting spots or might be yellowish/brown. I did find a vine which had a really pretty red leaf on it and I picked it and casually let it fall to the ground. Does that count?
Next, acorns. There are lots around and I think will collect some and figure out what to make with them. Any ideas!
I love doing these! Have you tried it with the crayons,yet?
Hey Nancy! I’ve been thinking of you and miss you! I just popped in to read your blog…and remembered seeing this post the other day. All about what to do with acorns!

And yes, I remember doing the leaf project!
I’ve also done it with clear contact paper and framed the pieces with construction paper. The boys’ turned out nice. 
And I think the red leaf counts.
