- Have the student choose about three to four leaves in different colors.
- Walk back to the classroom and have the students lay the leaves down on their desks.
- Then instruct them to fold the card stock or construction paper in half, so that it looks like a card.
- The student can then glue each leaf to the card using the Elmer's glue.
- Scissors can be used to trim the leaves.
- The card should dry for about 15 minutes.
- Now, students can open the cards up and write either a poem or a greeting on the inside of the cards.
