It is half term in The Mad House this week and we will be trying get outside this half term, but it the weather is too wet then we will make the most of our family time and get our craft on! So in honor of half term this weeks Five ways on five days focusses on Autumn crafts.
 |
If you do not want to pick the leaves with your children or they are soggy and horrible then use free autumn pintables and let your child colour them in and stick them to a tree template. This is the perfect simple autumn craft that is great for encouraging scissor skills. |

There is something about the wonderful autumnal colours that make
crafting at this time of the year so appealing. We love gluing and sticking and this
packing chip or playmais art is fantastic fun.
Maxi even made a bonfire
and hedgehogs with the chips.

You do not have to always stick to white paper, sometimes the darker
nights make a great excuse for dark paper and using chalks or crayons to mark
on them

One of most favourite things to do at this time of year is to make
child safe edible
sparklers.
We make them for both the boys classes at school. They are a fun, safe and simple way to
celebrate Bonfire night.

I also had to include this fantastic leaf art by my friend Cathy at Nurturestore. I do this with the
boys and they adore it. So simple, yet
so effective.

Some really fun crafts there :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a half term linky. Adding my Country Kids crafty activities, outdoor crafts but good fun and very thrifty!
ReplyDeleteAh, not a linky but some great ideas here! I might have to try edible sparklers for our Bonfire party on Sunday. Thank you for sharing some lovely ideas.
