The leaves can be preserved for a while using wax paper. We did this as kids.
Put some leaves between 2 layers of waxed paper. Put the wax paper leaf sandwich between 2 layers of thick paper bags and iron the bags. The wax melts and coats the leaves, preserving the colors for a time. (They do eventually brown though.) Then you can keep them between the paper or remove them carefully. You may want to protect your ironing board with a couple of extra layers of paper in case the wax comes through. Experiment with iron temperature and duration of pressure.
