10 Easy Fall Leaf Crafts to Do with Kids This Weekend

A bag of leaves is enough for a whole weekend of making. These ten fall leaf crafts stay simple: glue, paper, and a walk outside.

What you need

• Dry leaves in a few colours
• Paper, glue, and a stapler
• Crayons and a tray

Ten crafts

• Leaf crown: staple a paper strip into a band and glue leaves around it.
• Leaf rubbing: cover a leaf with paper and rub a peeled crayon over it.
• Leaf owl: one large leaf for the body, two small ones for wings, and paper eyes.
• Window leaves: tape the prettiest leaves to a sunny window.
• Leaf confetti: crumble dry leaves and glue the bits into a shape.
• Nature frame: glue leaves around the border of a drawing.
• Leaf animals: add paper legs and a face to a leaf body.
• Sorting tray: sort leaves by colour, then glue one of each onto a strip.
• Leaf printing: paint the back of a leaf and press it onto paper.
• Gratitude leaf: write one thankful word on a paper leaf and hang it up.
