Fun Fall Art/Projects?

[Willow]

I LOVE fall but feel stuck in a rut as far as crafts go. Anyone care to share what they've done, are working on or hope to try in the future?

Ideas for all ages would be appreciated, there are times I only have one baby here now that half of my small group as well as my own kids are off to school each day. I'm sure there are others of you bored as heck as I am and looking to do something cute and sweet with the few remaining bittys


I did do the construction paper rip leaf pinterest one with the poem:
Red and Yellow
Green and Brown
Leaves are Falling
To the Ground!


But beyond that not much else has inspired me, please help!

I've been getting some good ideas from the weekly kids co-op, it's a site that lets bloggers link their ideas. This weeks (and last week's) has a lot of neat fall stuff http://weeklykidscoop.com/autumn-activities-for-kids/

Every year we make "placemats" with leaves. I give them one of my laminating sheets to open and stick their leaves in it and laminate them. Sometimes we just use contact paper too, depends on if I want to run the machine or deal with the stickiness when they get the contact paper stuck together. We have also cut them into shapes (acorns, apples, leaves, etc) and put string in the top to hang them in the window.

Not really fall related-more so spring, but we have a lot of sticks all year-is to make a paper bag nest. Take a paper lunch bag and scrunch it down. Break apart some sticks and use tacky glue to glue them to the bag.

Use leaves for painting, or sticks, acorns, walnuts, whatever you can find laying on the ground!

We went apple picking today so we will be doing stamping with whole & cut up apples & paint.

For the baby you could shape some clay into an apple shape, press the baby's handprint in the centre with a tag that says I'm the apple of Mommy/Daddy's eye. Then bake it to make an ornament.
