Hello everyone!!!
Hope you all are enjoying this gorgeous day (well it's gorgeous here in Pittsburgh - hope it's as nice in your neck of the woods!!)
I just have a quick question: does anyone have some fall-themed (not Halloween) craft ideas that I could do with about 5 little ones (roughly 4-8 years old)? I only have one fall stamp (a leaf) and I would prefer something quick, easy, doesn't involve too many materials, and doesn't require candy. I was trying to think along the lines of leaves, pumpkins, or turkeys but kept coming up empty :confused:
Please share any and all ideas!!

Sorry, I don't have any ideas, but I just wanted to say that I'm glad you're enjoying this beautiful Pittsburgh day while I sit at work (in Pittsburgh!!!). Just wanted to say "Hey" to a fellow Pittsburgher!!!!
The gallery is full of ideas for making little pumpkins, turkeys, all sorts of animals out of punches, circles or ovals, etc. Just search the gallery for "punches" and all sorts of little creatures will appear. They turn out absolutely adorable and kids just love them.

One great idea (not mine!) is to use the child's hand as a turkey! My kids have done this for Thanksgiving. Trace the child's hand on construction paper and cut out. Then, the fingers become the turkey's feathers, and the thumb is the neck/head. You just add feet and decorate the body. Then, you can write what they are thankful for on the 'feathers'. This doesn't involve stamping, but it still fun. A great site for kids is familyfun.com . Have fun!
do you have a leave punch? A maple leaf would be good. If you do you can go to a Wal-Mart and get tons of paint chip cards ( they make some 2 x 3 ), punch out a bunch of leaves in different colors. (FREE!).
Trace circles on paper and have them glue down the leaves for a "wreath". Never tried it myself just thinking off the top of my head.
If you wanted to buy small wreath forms at a craft store that would be nice too.
