Leaf Crafts
When autumn winds blow, nature paints the leaves on the trees into hues of reds, oranges, yellows and browns. It is a magnificent sight but sadly only for a short time. This craft section includes different projects using typical autumn leaves as motifs.

Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving Crafts for Kids
Autumn is here and it is time to pull out the scissors, paint and glue for some crafting fun. Some fun projects are waiting here for kids to create when the days get cooler. One project is a great recycling project using kitchen tin cans and creating Jack-o-Lanterns. Smaller children can craft the Tom Turkey plant poke for their mothers and school aged children can make an easy wreath to decorate the front door.
Rainy Day Craft Ideas for Kids
Already at a young age, children love to make things and work with their hands. It is not easy for them at the beginning to cut with the scissors or draw a straight line, but it is amazing what those little hands can still do. With practice and within time, the child’s skills will improve. Encourage the child to craft as often as possible. With each finished project, the sense of accomplishment is so positive and the child will continue to enjoy crafting for years to come and develop its own creative ideas.
It is very important to buy glue that is easy for children to use and has a small opening. Most children tend to use too much glue which can ruin an otherwise pretty project.
Make sure that cutting lines are good to see and buy the children scissors that cut well and are made for young hands
