Colorful DIY Fall Wreath Craft for Kids

638shares

I’ve been looking for an easy fall project to attempt with my toddler after seeing so many inspiring ideas on Pinterest.  However, knowing the short-attention span of a toddler and my need for a colorful wreath, I decided to put our own unique spin on the craft by painting the leaves we found and mixing them up with the bright foliage that was readily available.

Colorful Fall Wreath - Let the kid's help decorate for Fall with this easy leaf and paint craft! A fun toddler craft idea!This post may contain affiliate links.

Here’s what we used:

  • Washable paint (Buy here)
  • Paint brushes (this one is easy for toddlers to use!)
  • Cardboard
  • Acorns
  • Leaves
  • Glue
  • Scissor

Here’s what we did:

We gathered up various leaves and acorns from around the yard which we could use to adorn our fall wreath.  This was such a great way to keep my toddler busy, especially if you call it a “treasure hunt” ;).

Since most of the leaves in our yard were withered and dark, we decided to focus on green leaves and simply paint them red, yellow or green to create a colorful variety.

It started to get a little messy at one point, so I was happy for those (very few) bright-colored leaves we did find. (In retrospect I would have stocked up on a few of these for no-fuss painting!)

After my toddler had enough painting fun, I laid out the leaves to dry and cut a circle from a cardboard box. (Note: A paper plate works just as well and is easier to cut — but I didn’t have one handy and liked that the cardboard would hold the acorns better.) It’s easiest to cut the cardboard with a knife and then simply use a scissor to trim the edges.

We glued all the leaves to the cardboard, starting with the biggest leaf to cover the base and layering various other shapes and colors around it. We finished the look with a few acorns and mums.

    Very cute! I’m looking forward to playing with the leaves with my daughter as we get further into fall….she already seems very interested in the ones that are currently on the ground! I will have to try this out with her next year when she’s a little older 🙂
