You know it is that time of year when you see pumpkin-spice flavor on everything, leaves start to change colors, and the sun rises a bit later in the morning.

Give your children a chance to embrace their artistic side with this fall-themed art project. Whether it’s learning a new handcraft like crochet or getting messy with paints, your creative children will love
exploring the many ways to express their feelings especially in this really unusual time we are all going through.

This activity will be a really great opportunity make outside time more fun while staying socially-distanced and safe. It is great for kids of all ages, and the results are stunning. All you need is a contact paper!

Let’s go to your yard and have your little one collect anything they like for the collage, for example: leaves, dirt, branches, flowers, sand etc… depends on your child’s creativity.

If you want to make this activity more attractive for them, give them little baskets (maybe even a wheelbarrow) to put the things they collected.

When your child all done collecting it is time to put them on the contact adhesive paper. Since anything you put on contact paper will stick automatically you don’t need to deal with messy glues.

Happy Fall !!!
