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.

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.
