Fall wreath craft

A fun nature craft for kids

Celebrate this upcoming fall season by using nature to create a craft. This is an excellent project for adults to do with their children. My girls love to work on seasonal projects and proudly display them around the house. Gets them off of their electronic devices so that they can focus on nature, which I feel is important in  this age of technology.

Start by taking a nature walk. Bring a bucket so you have somewhere to put the items you collect. You want to look for leaves of different shapes an colors, acorns, and even little holly berries.

Next, cut the center out of a paper plate. This gives you the base of a wreath. You can always purchase the base for a wreath at a craft store that is larger than a paper plate, but my kids don't seem to care about size so I stick with the paper plate.
