Leaf Stamping Card Craft

 


The leaves are turning colour and beginning to fall to the ground. To create some of the best nature crafts we have to embrace the seasons and collect the leftovers nature is tossing to the side. I love leaf crafts and they can be so much fun to make. Not to mention how much money you save when you utilize free resources given to you by Mother Nature. 


You will need:

Leaves

Card stock 

Paint

Paper

Markers

1. Let the kids run around and collect leaves off the ground. An assortment of different leaves will help to create different shapes and designs on each card. 

2. Let the kids paint the backside of the leaves where the veins are. Choose fall colours if you wish to create the ambiance of autumn. I also used black on their favourite leaves to create a bold stamp that stands out on the rest of them. 


3. Take the painted leaves and press them onto paper to create stamps. Let them dry and take the card stock and fold them into cards. Apply a bright colour to each child’s hand and stamp it inside the card to create the child signature.

4. Cut pieces of the stamped leaf print papers to fit on the cover of the card and write each child’s name next to their handprint inside. 

5. Let the cards dry and write fall sayings on the front. These make great gifts for thanksgiving, birthdays, or just because. If you’re looking for more amazing crafts take a look at this great article 7 simple Fall Crafts For Kids!

HOW TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO HANDLE EMERGENCIES WITHOUT SCARING THE BLEEP OUT OF THEM

Discussing possible emergency scenarios with one’s children is never a pleasant topic. Parents do not want to frighten them or create new anxieties . Dr. Sanam Hafeez is a New York City based Neuro-psychologist and School Psychologist who has an approach to emergency preparedness that won’t freak your children out. Tell children an emergency is something unusual that happens which could hurt people, or cause damage to things like houses and cars.  Explain to them that nature sometimes provides ‘too much of something’ like, rain, wind or snow.
