Fall Leaves

 

Hello and Welcome to our little creative corner of the world.

It is Autumn here, we are so enjoying the changing leaves and watching nature.

On our walks, we are loving searching for pumpkins and scarecrows along the way.

My little ones find such joy in collecting leaves too and putting them into their little buckets they carry to collect them in.  

Anyways, this is what we did last week.

Suncatcher

Simple suncatcher made by cutting up a paper plate and having the kids add tissue paper onto some sticky contact paper.  Easy for my little ones to do.

Fall Banners

We welcomed the First day of Fall by making banners.  

Fall Wreath

Who doesn't need a new Fall wreath for their door.  

Paper plate base with leaves glued onto it.

Leaf Match Game

I printed off the leaves with their shadows to make a matching game.

We glued an envelope onto the back to hold all the match pieces of our game.
