Who knew leaves could be so much fun?! I hope you are inspired to recreate this idea this fall season!

Craft Supplies:

  • Plastic Decorative Leaves
  • Foam Face Shapes {I found mine at Michaels}
  • School Glue
  • Large Wiggle Eyes
  • Sharpie Markers

Directions:

  • First draw a thick line of glue near the hairline of the foam face cutout.
  • Have children lay their plastic leaves on top of the glue, until they have a “hair” design they like.
  • To finish if all off, have children glue on some wiggle eyes, as well as drawing some lips and a nose.
  • Then add other embellishments you see fit and lay it an undisturbed area so your project can dry!
  • Now display proudly for all to see!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
