\"Making<\/figure>

The weather is beginning to change again, and with it brings many beautiful colors and signs of autumn.\u00a0 From pumpkins everywhere, to the beautiful leaves on the trees, to the acorns on the ground, fall brings a new kind of excitement with it.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to bring some of that nature inside and use it in artistic ways with your preschooler.\u00a0 Here are three ideas:<\/span><\/p>\n

Cardboard Acorn Wreath<\/span><\/h4>\n

Gather many acorns, some pretty leaves, maybe some straw, glue, and a piece of cardboard cut out like a wreath (or a sturdy paper plate with a circle cut out of the middle).\u00a0 Make the wreath by gluing the leaves, straw, and plethora of acorns onto the cardboard.\u00a0 Fill in all the gaps so you cannot see the cardboard anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaf Rubbings<\/span><\/h4>\n

To make this colorful autumn picture, you will need crayons (preferably old, broken ones), 2 sheets of paper, and various types and sizes of leaves.\u00a0 Place the leaves on top of one sheet of paper arranged so they aren\u2019t overlapping too much.\u00a0 Put the second sheet of paper on top of the leaves.\u00a0 Using crayon, rub back and forth on the top sheet with the long side of the crayon.\u00a0 Pretty soon you will see the shapes of the leaves coming through.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkin Painting<\/span><\/h4>\n

Painting pumpkins is a fun, colorful, and easy spin on carving them.\u00a0 All you need is some washable paint, a paintbrush (if you don\u2019t want to use your fingers), a pumpkin, some old clothes to wear and an imagination.\u00a0 When you are finished painting, let it dry and then display them proudly. This activity would probably be better to do outside because of the messiness.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As you can see from the ideas above, seasonal arts and crafts don\u2019t have to be expensive or include a lot of supplies.\u00a0 Just use what is in your own backyard and have fun!<\/span><\/p>\n
