Fall leaf sun catchers

One of the essentials in kids craft supplies is clear contact paper! It is fantastic for simple crafts that are easy and sticky, but without all the mess. For this activity you'll need the following:

-scissors
-clear contact paper
-construction paper--cut into leaf shape frames (see pic below)
-tissue paper (we used fall colors like yellow and orange)--cut or ripped into 1 inch squares

First, take a good size piece of contact paper and tape it down to the table, sticky side up. (Taping it down will keep it from sliding everywhere while your kid is working.)

Next, stick the cutout leaf frames you made from the construction paper.

After that, let your kid slap, sprinkle, dump, gently place as many of the tissue paper pieces as they want within the leaf frames. It doesn't matter if they stick tissue paper outside of leaf shapes. You'll be cutting the excess away later anyway.

Once your kids are done, take another piece of clear construction paper and place it on top of the other, sandwiching the sticky sides together to "laminate" their work.

Lastly, cut out the leafs, leaving about 1/2 around the outside boarder of the leaf. Tape up on the window and enjoy!
