This is a great one for autumn. We collected fall leaves and layered them between sheets of paper towel and pressed them under a stack of heavy books for two weeks.

Once the leaves were pressed and dried we arranged them into butterflies. The stems made great antennas.
What a great idea! Where do you come up with these?
