Identify trees by their leaf shapes and structures then capture leaf symmetry with painted leaf prints.
1.
Study leaf structure, such as pinnate and palmate. Take a nature walk to identify leaves by their shape and structure. Use a plant or tree identification guide.
2.
When you are sure that a plant isn't harmful (poison ivy, poison oak, and stinging nettle, among others), pick a leaf sample.
3.
Cover a work area with recycled newspaper. With a Crayola® Paint Brush, apply a small amount of Crayola Washable Paint to the underside of the leaf. It has more obvious veins and will produce a better print.
4.
Press the painted leaf onto paper with even pressure. Lift it up to see a detailed print.
5.
Repeat this process with several different leaves. Label each one with a Crayola Washable Marker.
