Fall is just a falling leaf away and with it will come all the apple cider, cozy sweaters and of course all the fun decorating! Here is a cute Fall mobile to start off the season. Discuss with your little one the changing seasons, the different shapes of leaves, colors and even sneak in a little math when counting leaves.
Materials:
- Leaves
- Branch
- Twine/String
- Glue Stick
- Tape
- Scissors
(Note: Feel free to go on a nature walk with your child to collect any materials that you would like to include in this craft.)
Instructions:
Assemble little bundles using pre-cut leaves and glue stick. Attach strand of twine to branch and cut to desired length. Add two more strands to branch. Tape leaves and bundles to twine. Remember to attach a fourth strand from one end of the branch to the other to create a nifty handle to hang your mobile from.
All Done! You did wonderful, take a moment to admire your work!
