Grass Hats - You'll need green construction paper, scissors, a stapler, and bug stickers for this craft. Use the green construction and stapler to make a hat band that is the full width of the paper and goes completely around the child's head. It will look a little like a green top hat. Then have the child cut vertical slits all the way around top of the hat band. Be sure to leave at least 2 inches at the bottom. This will make the basic grass hat. Stick stickers randomly in the "grass." The kids love this one!

Super Simple Pencil Holder - This pencil holder will hold everything... markers, crayons, paint brushes, scissors, etc. and it's quick and easy without any worry about sharp edges. All you need is a terra cotta pot (4 inch works pretty well). Cut a round piece of foam or cardboard and glue it inside the bottom of the pot to plug up the hole. Now you can decorate it any way you want... glue on buttons, beads, beans, yarn, paint it, use permanent markers to draw on it, etc.

Fall Nature Jewelry - Quick easy ways to make little kid jewelry while enjoying a great Autumn walk in the woods or park.

Fall 5 Senses Nature Walk - Autumn is my favorite time of year to go for a nature walk with the kids. There are so many projects that tie into it and so many things to see and talk about that it's a real treat to be outdoors. It is also one of the best times of year to talk about the five senses and explore them outdoors.

Easy Fall Wreath - This Autumn wreath project is so quick and simple, yet it looks really great! This project is ideal for a scout troop project, classroom, or other group. It's so easy that even little kids can do it!

Scrunchie Fall Leaf - This project is a great way to use an unusual item to create a textured leaf. It's also fun for little ones to use something that is normally for the bathtub to create art.

Leaf Rubbings - This is an oldie but a goodie... younger children always enjoy creating art with rubbings. Arrange several leaves under a piece of paper on a flat surface. Tear the paper off of a crayon and rub the crayon sideways across the paper to reveal the leaves underneath.

Nature Collage - A super simple way to get young kids involved with nature and creating art at the same time. Collect a bunch of Fall objects like leaves, small sticks, acorns, etc. and then have the child glue them onto a piece of paper to make a collage.

Coffee Filter Fall Leaves - Cut leaf shapes out of basket-type coffee filters. Fill an ice cube tray with water and then put a few drops of food coloring in each of the sections (orange, red, yellow, and brown). Make each section a different color. Flatten out each of your pre-cut filter leaves and use an eyedropper to make designs on them. Each color will spread and run into the other colors. This is a lot of fun for the kids (and the grownups) and makes a good lesson for what happens when you mix colors. Let the filters dry completely and don't forget to put down some newspaper or your table will likely be stained.
