Mixin' Mom: Kids Fall Leaf Garland

My kids love to color - although they aren't very good at it yet! So I thought of a simple way to take their 'scribble' artwork and transform it into something we could make together. I had my kids color on a few pieces of 'Fall' colored construction paper and then I cut leaves out of the paper. We then punched a hole in each leaf and I had my son 'sew' the leaves onto some yarn to make a fun garland for Fall!

We are super excited for cooler weather and school to start. I absolutely love Fall and can't wait to kick it off with a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks this Monday and to share my new Fall wreath I made with you!

Kids Fall Leaf Garland

Supplies:

- construction paper (we used green, red, orange, yellow)
- crayons/markers
- hole punch
- scissors
- yarn
- tape

1. Have your kids color on your Fall construction paper.
2. Trace and cut different leaf shapes out of the paper.
3. Punch a hole at the end of each leaf.
4. Cut a long strand of yarn and tie off one end and then tape off the top by wrapping a piece of tape around your yarn to make a 'needle.' Have your kids 'sew' the leaves onto the yarn using the needle.
5. Hang up your new Fall garland!
