Maples, Oaks And More
The assortment is not one leaf repeated. Maples, oaks and a few other outlines come in orange, red, yellow and brown, so a single project can build a whole branch or scatter a mix across a page. Sizes vary enough that small ones fill corners while larger ones anchor a title. On a bulletin board the range is what keeps the display from looking machine-made.
Thick Enough To Peel
Foam is thick enough that a child can get a fingernail under the edge, which removes the step where an adult peels every sticker. The backing releases cleanly and the leaf goes down without curling. Teachers hand them out as rewards, use them to label a chart, or set a tray of them in the middle of a table and let a class work through an afternoon on their own.
Place Cards And Invitations
Outside a classroom the leaves end up on greeting cards, scrapbook pages, journals and planners, on wrapped gifts and on the paper bags that hold party favors. A row along the edge of a place card dresses a Thanksgiving table setting. Invitations for a Friendsgiving dinner get one on the corner. The same shapes work for an October event where the theme is autumn rather than Halloween.
Sparkle That Stays Put
Loose glitter is the reason some craft supplies get banned from a kitchen table. Here the sparkle is fixed to the foam surface rather than dusted on top, so the leaves keep their shine without leaving a trail across the room. EVA foam is light, holds its color through the season, and does not go brittle in a box, which is what makes a large pack worth keeping.
