YOU WILL NEED:

• Printable leaf template (see below)
• Yarn (orange, green)
• Glue
• Cardboard
• Scissors

What else could you wrap around the cardboard leaf? Try ribbon, fabric scraps, or even raffia. Or combine several kinds of materials!

HOW TO MAKE YARN LEAVES

STEP 1: Print and cut out the leaf template or draw your own. Then, trace the leaves onto cardboard and cut it out.

💡 TIP: If you do this activity with multiple kiddos or a larger group, you might want to cut everything out ahead! This is particularly helpful if you are low on time or don’t have enough scissors for everyone.

STEP 2: Brush the cardboard leaf with glue.

STEP 3: Tape an end of the yarn to the leaf and start wrapping!

STEP 4: Wrap and wrap some more! Add different fall colors to your leaf. You can also wrap the leaf stem or alternatively color the stem with a marker.

STEP 5: Tie off the ends when you are finished!
