Growing up, my mom always kept all of our holiday art projects and hung them up as decorations. I remember being so proud that she wanted to put them up! I figured it was high time to start this tradition with my own littles. Are you ready for a fun Fall craft?! Let's put some of those crunchy leaves to good use!
What you'll need:
-a paper plate
-scissors
-Elmer's glue (or hot glue would work too!)
-leaves
1: Collect some leaves outside.
2: Cut out the center of your paper plate to make a wreath shape.
3: Help your child squeeze out the glue on your "wreath" and attach the leaves on!
4: If you're feeling fancy, use a hole punch and add some twine. You can even add a little sign in the middle with whatever you want to say.
5: Let your child hang it up and be proud of their work!
Activity Notes:
- if you don't have fall leaves where you live, cut some out of different colored construction paper!
-add acorns, pinecones, twigs...whatever your child can find!
-our leaves were a little extra crunchy and some had a hard time sticking with just glue. I added some tape on the back of those ones and it worked great.
