<STRONG>Create a leaf.</STRONG> With Crayola Scissors®, cut a paper plate and fit the pieces together to form a leaf. Trim off any extra. Use a Crayola Glue Stick to hold plates together. With the extra pieces or another plate, cut a stem. Attach it to the leaf. Color the leaf and stem with Crayola Slick Stix. Such intense colors! They just slide on the plate! Try blending colors, too.
