Earth Day Craft: Leaf Confetti

Your kid's next craft project is waiting in the yard! Gather pretty leaves and punch them into cute little shapes that kids can then use to create anything from birthday party favors to wall art. (We've included paper roll and glue material suggestions here in case kids opt for wall art.)

Plus, this confetti isn't nearly as messy as store-bought confetti. If kids want to throw the leaf confetti into the air, just encourage them to go outside so there's no clean up!

What you'll need:

• Leaves
• Paper punch
• Paper roll (optional)
• Acid-free glue (optional)

Instructions:

1. Gather leaves from the yard or from a nature walk. Look for leaves that feel sturdy and do not have holes.

2. Place a leaf into the paper punch, then press the paper punch.

3. Repeat step 2 to create as many confetti leaves as you'd like.

4. If kids would like to create leaf art, glue leaves to a piece of paper roll using acid-free glue.
