You can create a collage from a variety of things. You can consider such a project not only if you feel like creating with natural materials.

We have put together some great inspiration on how you can make an autumn collage with children in today's article. Just try out the craft ideas for fall and spend a fun afternoon together.
Autumn collage with children making crafts in autumn with natural materials
The first thing that comes to mind when you think of a fall collage is probably natural materials. After all, in most cases they are simply part of autumn crafts with children. And that's really not a bad idea if you want to create an autumnal atmosphere. You cancraft with leaves, blossoms of autumn flowers, berries and autumn fruits such as chestnuts, acorns and beechnuts. You can also design with sticks and combine many different materials to create creative images.
Regardless of whether you make the collage out of leaves or use other natural materials, you can either simply create colorful images or specific motifs such as animals or trees. This is the perfect way to stimulate the little ones' imagination, because everyone can come up with something of their own.
If you are making an autumn decoration with natural materials, you can use pumpkin seeds like this. Other types of seeds or legumes such as lentils, beans or peppercorns are also great. These can even be painted colorfully before or after sticking them on. No matter what materials you have chosen, you can attach everything to the paper with a strong adhesive. To ensure that the picture is stable, it is best to use stronger craft cardboard.
We also find the idea of using cut-out motifs for the autumnal collage very original. All you need is a punch with the desired motifs and enough leaves in different colors to punch out. What you do with the motifs is up to you and your children. If you don't have a punch to hand, you can of course cut out the motifs freehand.
Ideas with photos
How about including photos of family members? In this way you can make original gifts in the form of aPhoto collage screeching. Leaves, feathers, empty snail shells, dried grass and needles can be used to make not only clothes, but also a funny headdress. The people are simply cut out of the photo. You can do a shoot with the family specifically for this purpose and use funny poses. The cut out people are then glued to paper and decorated with any materials. Funny projects are guaranteed.
Autumn craft ideas – painting a collage
If you want to spontaneously make an autumn collage with children and don't have the time for a long walk to collect different leaves, you can also paint a picture by quickly taking a few leaves from the garden or from the tree in front of the front door and making their prints transferred onto a piece of paper using wax crayons. To do this, simply place the sheet under the paper and paint over it with the wax pen. Paint several prints on the leaf in this way and it is best to use different autumn colors.
If you still have time for a walk, then plan it. Because then you can collect different leaf shapes and create a more diverse collage with children in autumn. Combine the print of a maple leaf with that of oak leaves, lime leaves and also the interestingly shaped chestnut leaves. If each of them has a different color, the picture will be particularly colorful.
Press sheets for the collage and create faces
Press the leaves you have collected for a few days to then create such a picture. A face is required that you draw on paper. Both the children and you as an adult can do this. The leaves are then used to design the hair. Short and long, thick and thin hair can be created. You can even make a beard with smaller papers if you make this type of fall collage with kids.
Silhouettes that don't require you to draw a face are also very nice. To do this, the shape of a head is cut out of black paper from a side perspective. This idea becomes even more exciting if you use yours and the children's silhouettes. To do this, simply use the shadow that you project onto a piece of paper on the wall and then transfer the outline of it. By the way, for an autumn goddess there isFree templates here.
Crafts with autumn leaves
Of course, you can also use artificial leaves. This is exactly what was used in this example. This idea tooCrafting with leavesis a great gift and is particularly personal because it is homemade. The autumn leaves are distributed randomly on a canvas. In addition, a nice saying or a greeting or congratulations can be added.
Create original collages in autumn with leaves made from puzzle pieces
Especially with children, it is not uncommon for puzzle pieces to get lost quickly. The puzzle therefore becomes unusable. Or maybe not? Instead of throwing it away, use it for a creative collage like this one you should create in the fall. Using acrylic paint, the individual parts are first painted in color. Whether you always use just one color or mix several colors on one piece is up to you. In addition to the brush, you can also use a sponge to apply.
You can paint the tree trunk and branches as you like, make them out of twigs or use wrapping paper like here. Maybe you can think of something else too. Finally, all you have to do is distribute the puzzle pieces to imitate leaves and you've reused them in a creative way. In the same way, you can also use buttons and other items when making such an autumn collage with children.
