Craft Supplies:
To get started on your fall leaves project, gather some basic supplies.
- LEAF Printable – on our fall landing page
- White Cardstock Paper
- Crayola Watercolor Pencils
- Paint Brush
- Small Dish w/tap water
- Paper Craft Scissors
- Gold Glitter Glue
- Loose Craft Glitter
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
