I went searching for another fall craft I could “handle” and found this adorable Falling Leaves Craft from No Time for Flashcards.
I made a simple leaf printable {which you can download here if you are artistically impaired like I am} and printed it on white cardstock. I think I would have used a fall color as a base if I could reprint, the white is a bit…well, white. But it does show their painting well.
The kids used a few different painting tools and enjoyed mixing up the fall colors.
I loved allowing them the freedom to mix and explore…or you know, make a mess. 😉
Ladybug used dot paint for hers, and I also let her explore with the porcupine painters from Oriental Trading!
They also painted their spirals {which I drew ahead of time} and then I let everything dry before cutting it out and assembling them later in the day. I then found the perfect spot for each craft and proudly displayed their falling leaves. The kids were really excited to see their creations swirling around!!!
Thanks to Allie from No Time For Flashcards for the inspiration for this fall craft!
