Leaf Art

I absolutely love the colors of the fall. If you are like me, you sure can’t resist collecting those autumn colored leaves from the ground.

Have you ever tried pressing them and creating all kinds of fun projects with the kids? Try this simple and cute fox to start with, than you can experiment with some more complex ones.

What you need:

white card stock
black cardstock
googly eyes
white glue
paint brush to apply to glue
scissors
marker

Directions:

Head outside to find your art materials. Look for leaves with a variety of shapes, textures, and colors.
After bringing all the leaves home you could rinse and pat the leaves dry. Or, just press them as is.
Pull out the leaves, gather your supplies, and get crafting!
Encourage kids to take time moving the leaves around and experimenting with various shapes and colors.
Once the kids are happy with their designs, they can use paint brushes to apply glue on the backs of the leaves before pressing them into place.
Add the black cardstock circles and the googly eyes.
Draw some whiskers.
Display the finished art so the whole family can enjoy!
