If you still have colorful leaves in your area, you could have
the children collect them. You'll need an iron, low ironing
board, wax paper, and masking tape for their names. One at
a time the parent and child lay the leaves on half of the wax
paper,(about 3 ft long) then the parent folds it over the
leaves. The child puts one arm behind his/her back and the
other one on the handle of the iron. The parent puts his/her
hand on top of the child's hand and they iron the two side of
wax paper together. (Do not linger on one spot.) These are
beautiful when hung in a window.
You might want to give the parents the following handout to
take home. When they are waiting for their turn to do the
leaves, you could ask the parents to share their Thanksgiving
or fall family traditions, i.e. getting together with
relatives or going to the pumpkin patch. Encourage them to
have their own traditions (see the article).
