3. Leaf and Pine Cone Printing

This is a fun one to do with kids! They'll love gathering just the right fallen leaves and pine cones. The only other supplies you need are some eco-friendly paint (you can even make your own) and paper. Salvaged brown paper bags work great for this.

Pine cones are extra fun, because you can roll them. Use a brush to paint the cones, then roll them on your paper to make beautiful, textured backgrounds. For the leaves, just use a brush to apply paint to the leaf, then gently press to make lovely leaf prints.
