The fall season with its bright colors gives us inspiration for crafts. Many of these ideas are inspired by nature and use natural materials such as beautifully colored leaves, sticks or small pebbles.
School children can give their colorful creations as a gift to a friend or hang them proudly in their children's room. We give you some ideas that the kids would definitely enjoy.
For this quick and easy idea you will need pipe cleaners in orange, green and brown, as well as orange beads. You can then use it to make a cute pumpkin that you can use to perfectly decorate the interior of your house for Halloween or autumn.
Step-by-step instructions
Tie the wire together on one side in this way. How many pieces of wire you use depends entirely on you. The more wire you use, the smaller the gaps will be.
Attach beads
Next, thread the orange beads onto the wire. Finally, leave a piece of wire left over because that is where all the pieces of wire will be tied together again.
Add green wire
Tie the pieces of wire together with some brown wire. This now imitates the stem of a pumpkin. Finally, green wire is added. It's best to shape these like a spiral, which gives the pumpkin a funnier look. The best way to do this is to wrap it around a pin and then pull it out. The project for autumn crafts with children is ready! Let your imagination run wild and use this method for other fall craft ideas. You can create other seasonal fruits such as pears, quinces and many more. You and your children don't have to limit themselves to just fruits. The wires can be used to make different plants and parts of plants - trees, autumn leaves, etc.
Mosaic with legumes
This craft idea for kids features great patterns, colors and textures and only requires a little creativity and a lot of glue! It is suitable for older and younger children. Younger children can make a beautiful piece of art by simply gluing beans onto the leaf, while adults can create intricate patterns using different types of legumes. In both cases, you and your little ones will have a lot of fun and experience unforgettable moments together.
Transfer the template to the canvas and fill in the motif
For the mosaic with legumes you need cardboard (like from a corn flakes package), white glue (a glue stick is not enough), scissors, a sheet template, dry beans. Print out the sheet template and cut it out. Transfer it to the cardboard and cut out the sheet. Apply a generous amount of glue and spread it evenly over the surface. Stick the beans on top. This means you will decorate your home with beautiful fall colors, and your children will be able to proudly display their mosaic designs in their bedrooms.
Divide the legumes according to color
To enrich their sensibilities, you can show them beautiful color combinations when doing fall crafts with children. In this way, the little ones learn at an early age how to match colors with each other.
