Autumn place mats

The children will love making their own place mats and perhaps a few extra to give as gifts.

Dry the leaves in a flower press for a few days to make sure they are nice and dry and flat.

Give each child a laminating pocket and show them the one side they need to put their leaves on. They can decorate it any way they like. Just try not to have too many overlapping as it gets too thick and also leave a little space around the edges.

Laminate and see their excitement at using them at the next meal.
