Inspired from some various toys and other crafts I've come across recently, DECORATE A PUMPKIN! Microsoft Word has so many fun pictures in Clipart. I picked out a pumpkin, and made it a full page size, and then picked some fun shapes to be eyes, nose, and mouth. And extra pieces to swap them out.
If you care to have a copy of the document to print out for your kids, let me know; I'm happy to share.
*As a side, if you care to keep this fun craft from year to year, you can laminate it with laminating sheets, or use packing tape.
COLORFUL LEAVES
Now this is a craft that I recall doing as a child. It was always fun. You'll need wax paper, leaves, crayon shavings, and an iron. My girls and I had fun walking and picking up pretty leaves. And since the girls are a little young, I shaved some old crayons while they napped. Now, place a piece of wax paper down, have your child pick a leave or two and place on the wax paper. Then let them sprinkle some crayon shavings on top. Just a light amount of crayons. Then cover with another piece of wax paper. Be sure the shavings are away from the edges of the paper. Iron over top of the wax paper, and the two pieces will stick together and melt the crayon inside. This will not stick to the iron, but you won't want to get crayon on your iron. The color will create a fun effect! You can later cut close to the leaves and put on a card or paper.
Enjoy this season with your kiddos!
Jess these are awesome ideas, your so creative where did you get that from? Love, Mom and Al.
