This autumn leaf craft is an easy activity to keep the kids busy on a cold day.


Material

  • 1 Piece of card
  • Selection of coloured tissue paper (red orange, yellow), cut into small pieces
  • 1 black texta
  • 1 Sheet of clear contact paper

Method

  1. Draw the outline of a leaf shape on the piece of card (you can find an image online and trace it onto the card if easier). Cut out the shape, leaving just the texta outline.
  2. Place a piece of clear contact on the front side so the sticky is facing the back side of the picture.
  3. Now get your child to stick the tissue paper on the sticky side until all gaps are filled. Hang on the window!

Notes

You can use any shape and combination of colours. Butterflies are also a favourite with my girls!

  • You lost me at “draw” ….I am honestly unable to draw a single thing. Random shapes would work better for me :)

  • This is an activity that can be altered to fit any theme and the children love it. I still have a Christmas one my daughter made 15 years ago & it still comes out every Christmas.

  • We’ve saved all our Quality Street chocolate cellophane wrappers to do this with on a window. The leaf looks really cool.
