This is a lovely craft for younger children, who will enjoy both the hand painting and printing and the sticking on of stickers! You could adapt the craft for spring by using pink "blossom" stickers.
You will need:
Brown paint
Paper
Round stickers in yellow, red and orange
Instructions:
Paint your hand and wrist in brown paint.
Stamp onto the paper with your fingers spread wide to form the tree's branches.
When the paint is dry, stick on lots of "leaf" stickers in lovely autumn colours!
This lovely craft idea can be undertaken in one go as a project on the seasons - or in four parts over the year as each season arrives. However you choose to do it, the canvases make an eye-catching display.
This interesting technique relies on art tissue paper, which "bleeds" when water is added and produces a lovely mingled effect. Children enjoy watching the colours bleed into each other and the finished result is a perfect leaf for autumn.
Learn about mixing colours and create a pretty autumn display with this fun painting craft. We've lined up our leaves across a strip of card to make a display, but you could hang them in graduating order too.
