When the “stained glass” has cooled, students can then trace the leaf shapes onto the waxed paper and cut out their leaves. Be sure to use a dry setting on the iron, and make sure it is out of a child’s reach at all times no matter if it is off or on. Well away from the children, you can then melt the shavings and seal the paper by ironing it. Make sure each paper is named, before the children enjoy a break time. Next, they carefully fold the top of the waxed paper over the shavings. On one half of the paper, they shave crayons in different colors, filling the space with a single layer of shavings. Students begin by folding and then reopening a sheet of waxed paper. Help those children experience the different colors of leaves with faux stained glass leaf shapes. “Stained Glass” Leavesįor students in more temperate regions of the country, fall foliage may not look much different from that of the spring and summer, other than the size of the leaves. They may also use the larger leaves to design a house for their clan. They may also layer the leaves to make clothes, hats, shoes and other apparel for their leafy friends.Įxtend this idea by allowing students to make entire foliage families, including leafy pets. Leaf Peopleįor this project, let students combine leaves in different sizes to create the body, head and limbs of people. Another option is to have the children cut a slit in the center of the body shape and to insert the leaf’s stem through the slit, gluing it to the other side, to make it look like the bird is flying. Students can glue the leaves to a template, both as wings and as tail feathers. Smaller leaves can be used to make the wings of other birds throughout the year. After students cut out the shapes, they glue their leaves to the back to make the tail spread. Duplicate a turkey’s head and body on cardstock.
Use fall-colored leaves as the tail feathers for turkeys. For mature leaves or those that have changed to their fall colors, leave them up to three weeks. For young, green leaves, leave them in the solution for one to two days. Mix the glycerin and the water pour it into the pan.
This helps the foliage maintain its color and pliability so that the leaves don’t get brittle and ugly. Leaf art projects and activities, while traditionally fall ideas in the classroom, can be used year-round to help students develop an appreciation for the beauty around them.Ĭombine science with art by first preserving the leaves your students will be using in their projects. 5.Nature and its products are an important theme for kindergarten. Grab a few skeins, a couple of sparkly embellishments, and markers, as well. You will also need multiple colors of yarn. The ebay part is that this unicorn craft is actually made out of toilet paper rolls! Then perhaps you can sit her down for a fun-filled unicorn craft session. I always had some form of unicorn-related outfit at Halloween, too. This is one of the fun fall crafts you’ll want to make again and again. Go ahead and turn this necklace into a garland with multiple pumpkins, too, if you like! In fact, you can rope them into making a few yarn pumpkins, as well. It’s a quick and easy fall-themed accessory for your kids, especially around Halloween.
If you’ve got some yarn lying around, go ahead and grab some for this yarn pumpkin necklace. I usually have a ton of yarn leftover from knitting projects around fall.
