Leaf Sunflower Craft – Fall Crafts for Kids

Leaf Sunflower Craft – Fall Crafts for Kids

Leaf Sunflower Craft – Fall Crafts for Kids

by Andreja

What you need:

  • yellow leaves (or any other color and yellow paint)
  • brown construction paper
  • white school glue
  • duct tape
  • scissors
  • green paper drinking straws

Cut two circles per sunflower from brown construction paper (we used duct tape for circle template).

If you didn’t find any leaves that are yellow, you can color them. Let them dry before continuing.

Apply a generous amount of glue on the brown circle. Stick leaves onto it, all around.

Add a generous amount of glue on the first layer of leaves (over the brown circle area). Add another layer of leaves.

Add another generous amount of glue and stick on another brown circle. Press down for the glue to set.

Attach a green paper drinking straw with some duct tape. Leave a while for the white glue to dry completely (or somewhat). Your leaf sunflower craft is finished.

How to Make Dinosaur Clothespin Puppets
What you need:

  • our printable craft template
  • heavier print paper
  • clothespin (wooden is best)
  • glue
  • scissors

Step by Step Instructions:

Print out our dinosaur puppet template. We recommend printing on heavier print paper for more durability.

Tip: Once you cut out the puppets, you can also laminate the puppet parts to make it last even longer!

These puppets come both in black and white as well as pre-colored designs.

If your kids will be making the black and white ones, we do recommend they color the puppets before they move onto cutting.

Cut out the puppet outline.

Also cut along the mouth line (it’s marked on the puppet), to separate the top part of the puppet from the bottom one.

Apply glue on the gripping part of the clothespin.

If you are using wooden clothespins, a regular stick glue or school glue will do. If however you are using plastic clothespins, a glue gun (operated by adults) will be needed or glue dots.

Stick the top part of the dinosaur puppet on the top part of the gripping area, and the bottom part with the body on the bottom part of the clothespin’s gripping area.

Make sure the top part of the design is aligned with the bottom one.

All done! Your dinosaur puppets are ready for play!
