Childrens fall art?

[kibba]

I'm hosting a childrens art area at a fall festival...nov 1st..


Any ideas on what to have them do? Ages will be all over the place. I am going to put some paper/crayons/leafs out so the kids can do leaf rubbings, but not sure what else to do??

A great all-ages fall art idea is to collect a lot of natural materials like leaves, twigs, seed pods, acorns and pinecones, and then spread them out on the table and let the children choose items to arrange into a lump of salt dough on some kind of a base like a paper plate. The dough will dry over the course of a day or two and the arrangement makes a really nice centerpiece that lasts all autumn long. I have done this project with kids ages 18 months and up. Very young kids like the sensory experience of it and older children focus on making an aesthetically pleasing arrangement. And it is very inexpensive to do with a large group.

I hope your party is lots of fun!
