First cut your paper plates down to look like leaves. We did a football shape and another shape with some curved triangles taken out.

Next cut/tear your tissue paper into small squares.

Now take your paper plate cutouts and put a good amount of glue all over them.

Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue in a mosaic design, until they are completely covered.

While they are working on that, cut out a simple stem out of some tan/brown cardstock.

To finish off the Leaves, staple the cardstock stems to the finished paper plates.

Then add other embellishments you may see fit before setting aside to let it all dry completely.

Finally, when done decorating your paper plate leaf, display it proudly for ALL to see!
