This craft not only sparks creativity but also helps children learn about the beauty of nature. Let’s explore how you can create these stunning fall leaves with your kids this season.

Craft Supplies:

To get started on your fall leaves project, gather some basic supplies.

Directions:

  • First download and print the LEAF TEMPLATE LISTED ABOVE on a single sheet of white cardstock paper {or any color you like!}
  • Next, if desired, you can cut the leaf template out with scissors before or after you paint them. Just food for thought – waiting to cut the leaf out after it’s painted, could leave you with less mess with little ones 🙂
  • Now it’s time to paint! Let the kids go wide and paint their little hearts out! Remember – the more paint, the better!
  • Set aside to let it dry when done.
  • For added flair {and more crafty fun} have children add glitter glue or glitter around the edges of the painted watercolor leaves.
  • Finally – display your hard work proudly!
  • Don’t forget to share pictures with us as well! #gluedtomycrafts

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!
