Hello!
So the golden autumn has come. For some it brings joy with its warm weather, but for others it brings gloomy days with rain. But as they say, nature has no bad weather and every season is good in its own way.
So for me, September/October are considered fertile months, because during this period a very beautiful phenomenon occurs - leaf fall.
You can admire them endlessly, and it’s also nice to rustle the leaves under your feet or put them together into a beautiful bouquet. You can also get creative and make creative crafts from such natural material.
As a matter of fact, this is what I propose to you to do today. Let me remind you that we have already made products on the theme “Autumn” from vegetables and fruits, pumpkins, acorns and other materials, but in this article we will analyze souvenirs made specifically from leaves.
Therefore, if you are ready, then I suggest that you do not put everything in a black box, but immediately begin the selection and process!
DIY autumn crafts from leaves for school
Of course, most often we have to imagine in this area in order to help our children take part in school and kindergarten exhibitions. So let’s begin a review of works for children who study in primary and secondary schools.
The easiest thing would probably be to collect a bouquet or make a cool wreath. Moreover, you can always supplement the composition with different berries and fruits.
You can create a very simple bouquet, or you can get a little confused and roll up not dry leaves to make roses.
Or you can assemble an unusual ekibana.
Or make a topiary.
Or make these funny and cute flowers.
You can also do handicrafts in the area of applique. If you know how to draw well, then complement the composition with a drawing.
Using glue and other materials, build a basket, vase or queen “Autumn”.
And I was very impressed by the bird - an owl, just gorgeous!
I think I gave you some great ideas, don’t you agree?
New crafts made from leaves for kindergarten children
Now let’s look at job options for slightly younger children. Although all the ideas from this article can be applied to any age.
Again, the most suitable thing for kids is applique. You can glue different panels - butterflies, insects, fish, turtles, etc.
You can use this layout as a basis. Find the appropriate shape of leaves and make a cute cat.
What a gorgeous tree! It's simple and looks great.
But owls are a completely separate issue!
For example, my daughter and I made a craft from an ordinary bag. We filled it with leaves, gave it a shape, glued on the eyes and voila, everything is ready!
As additional materials, take colored paper, plasticine, cereals, seeds, etc.
The child will be delighted with this work. I know, in practice, children really love to sculpt).
You can also build a base for kids, for example a web like this. And then the child sticks on the leaves himself.
Or take the spotlight on children's hands. Also a very interesting idea.
I liked this picture here. Draw a background, and then with your child, stick on leaves to represent trees and bushes.
If you have more time, then work harder. You can make different masks, crowns and even angel wings!
In general, the scope for creativity is enormous. Choose - I don’t want it!
