Frequently asked questions
Why do leaves change color in the fall?
As days get shorter, trees stop making green chlorophyll, so the yellow and orange colors hidden in the leaf show through. Reds come from new pigments made in autumn.
Can I use these for a leaf craft?
Yes. Color, cut out the leaves and string them into a fall garland or glue them on a paper tree.
