This paper roll turkey is a fun Thanksgiving project that uses white craft rolls wrapped in brown and tan scrapbook paper. Attach a pair of googly eyes to the wrapped craft roll, hand cut a beak out of scrapbook paper and attach it using a glue dot. Gather several large fall leaves and glue them to the back of the craft roll using glue. These little turkeys are ready for the Thanksgiving feast!
Little hands will love creating this colorful autumn art project. Invite your child to roll out a piece of air dry clay and stamp a leaf onto it. Press firmly and make sure to press on all parts of the leaf to get a complete imprint. Take off your leaf and cut around the outline of the leaf with a knife (have an adult do this part) and remove the excess air dry clay from around your imprint. Allow the clay to air dry for 24-48 hours. After the dish is completely dried, the kids can paint the dishes in their favorite fall colors.
Kids will love creating and playing with these silly fox puppets. Simply attach a large fall leaf to a wood craft stick using glue dots. Attach googly eyes and small poms for the eyes and nose using glue dots as well and let the fun begin!
Create a "mane" attraction by making a lion out of vibrantly colored leaves. Place fall leaves in a circle onto a sheet of yellow or brown cardstock and attach using glue dots. Place the lion face on top of the leaves using glue dots. Kids will love displaying their friendly lion leaf craft!
Enchanting fall fairies are an adorable way to usher in autumn. Kids can easily paint little peg dolls in fall colors using acrylic paint and attach fall leaves to the back of the dolls using glue dots. Create tiny leaf crowns by cutting them out of fall leaves and attaching self-adhesive rhinestones to the crowns. Aren't they just the sweetest?
Making suncatchers is such a great leaf art project and paint pens makes them particularly easy and mess-free for kids of all ages! Hang in a sunny window for a beautiful piece of fall decor.
