Fall Craft Ideas


FALL COLLAGE: Take a nature walk and let the kids find things that interest them (leaves, sticks, rocks). They can start a collection of "treasure" then glue the items to painted cardboard or construction paper for a fall mural.





LEAF RUBBINGS: Place leaves under a peice of paper then rub the top of the paper with the side of a crayon to copy the texture and image of the leaves below.





APPLE PRINTS: Cut an apple in half and let the kids eat one half of the apple. Save the other half to dip in paint and press to paper to create apple shapes.
