\"fall_\"Fall is a magical time of year!<\/p>\n

The leaves change colors, the air is crisp and cool and Halloween and Thanksgiving are just around the corner. \u00a0 Try it to get in the mood for fall!<\/p>\n

When the crisp fall air invites you outside for a walk gather some brightly colored leaves.\u00a0 Press them in sheets of newspaper under heavy books for a few weeks.\u00a0 When they have dried they will still have their\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 bright colors and can be glued onto paper.<\/p>\n

Make leaf prints by painting one side of a leaf with tempera paint and then pressing it down gently into paper to form the leaf pattern.\u00a0 Make designs for fun, or use large sheets of paper (tissue paper, brown paper or even newspaper) and save the painted paper to use as gift-wrap.\u00a0 \"FallLeaves_SM_000\"<\/p>\n

Place some leaves between pieces of wax paper and iron.\u00a0 This will keep them from crumbling and give the leaves a glossy sheen.\u00a0 You can then glue them onto paper – try adding bits of bark or seeds too.<\/p>\n

Try putting leaves between pieces of clear contact paper.\u00a0 You can hang them in the window or use them as place mats.<\/p>\n

This Wednesday, September 22 is the Autumnal Equinox, which marks the first day of fall! The sun will be directly over the Earth’s equator, and there will be equal hours of day and night.\u00a0 After Wednesday, the days will get shorter.<\/p>\n

Happy Fall!<\/strong><\/p>\n
