🍂MESS FREE SENSORY LEAF PAINTING
Who loves mess-free activities?

Well I’m sharing with you this super easy and exciting Mess Free Sensory Leaf Painting activity! It’s fairly quick to prep, no fancy materials (though it looks fancy for sure) and kids will have a blast using their fingers to spread the paint making a beautiful, festive Autumn Leaf!

My kids both had a ton of fun! They loved spreading the paint, mixing it between each other and creating a stunning array of colors. And I loved that it was a simply…”toss in the end” with no effort on my part. No brushes to clean, no tables to scrub, no clothing to soak!

🍁SHAVING CREAM PAINTED FALL LEAVES

These Shaving Cream Painted Fall Leaves are super fun to make! And yes, you’ve read it right, we’ll be using shaving cream!

My kids absolutely loved the process and simple instructions involved in this exciting craft. It was easy enough for both ages (3 and 5) to follow and they had a blast. They each got a turn at spraying the shaving cream into a tray and my sons favorite part was using a gift card to swipe away the excess shaving cream off the leaf.

I must say, it is a bit satisfying, especially seeing the gorgeous end result!

🌳POOL NOODLE STAMPED APPLE TREE

Do you have a pool noodle at home, maybe somewhere in the shed or the garage? Well, if you do then you’re going to love this simple activity! This Pool Noodle Stamped Apple Tree is an easy and fun Autumn activity that uses up, perhaps, old pool noodles.

Honestly, my kids had a pool noodle in their room closet for probably a year now. We used it for the Pool Noodle Balance Beam for what seems like forever ago and ever since it’s been cut in half, used as swords, tunnels for marbles, bridges, and a lot more. I was getting pretty tired of them laying around in different places so I thought it was time for them to go. And this activity seemed soooo appropriate for Autumn!

“It is time for a return to childhood, to simplicity, to running and climbing and laughing in the sunshine, to experiencing happiness instead of being trained for a lifetime of pursuing happiness. It is time to let children be children again.” - L.R. Knost

AUTUMN PLAY-DOUGH TRAY: INVITATION TO CREATE

Autumn Play-dough Tray: Invitation to Create is a simple and easy way to spark your childs’ creativity. I’ve put together this simple tray full of nature finds we’ve found and gathered together with the kids on our daily outdoor walk. It was fun to see them run around, find something they felt was beautiful and worth to add to our tray and bring it over to show me. I loved that they were discovering the little things outdoors and noticing colors, shapes, objects, even patterns on the leaves and so much more!

Once we’ve had plently of these little treasures, I’ve placed them into a sectioned tray and added play-dough in the middle. Kids loved to see everything they’ve gathered in front of them and they couldn’t wait to get to work! I could see their creativity sparking even before I placed the tray onto their little work table!

🌽BUBBLE WRAP CORN CRAFT

Create sweet-looking corn using bubble wrap! This Bubble Wrap Corn Craft is perfect as an Autumn craft and is simple enough for even the small kids to follow along. They’ll love the process and the final product!

We did this with the kids and they were stunned that bubble wrap could create prefect-looking corn. My daughter said, “wow, that’s corn!”. She didn’t expect it to look so good!

I’m constantly looking for crafts that’s fun for both a 5 year old and a 3 year old. My son (3) can easily follow instructions but he loses interest quickly so the crafts have to be exciting, with a fun process and fairly short. With this corn craft he stayed interested and focused the whole time and in fact, wanted to finish and make is look pretty with the green color (I thought he’d be playing with something else by that point, but no!). This Bubble Wrap Corn won over all of the crafts we’ve done so far!
