When it comes to art projects, my kids and I are all about “easy” and “simple.” This fall leaf art project could not be easier! The results are lovely and the process is fun. Pair it with our easy fall leaf wreath and you are all set for a glorious autumnal home.
All you need is some glue, paint, paper and, of course, some beautiful, colorful autumn leaves. Glue the leaves on the paper and start painting. Kids can paint on the leaves, around them — what ever they want! We used liquid watercolors, but any kind of paint will do.
Since New Kid was snoozing, I was able to get in on the action. I may have had even more fun than Kiddo.
After such a strenuous activity you will need to relax with a little reading of course! These books are perfect:
Leaf Man
Fletcher and the Falling Leaves
Autumn Leaves
Enjoy the Autumn leaves before they leave! (So cheesy, I couldn’t resist)

I'm just now getting around to commenting. I really like that idea. Seems basic enough that mine could probably do it, too.
How do you get these great book lists together? I've got all three on reserve at the library now. Do you spend a lot of time gathering the titles? I love the idea.
Mom and Kiddo says
Nellie: I don't really have a system. I usually get on a subject kick (or Kiddo does) and end up requesting a ton of books on that subject, like leaves or pumpkins in the Autumn, or moons, or something like that. When I write a post I take a look at our bookshelf and see if we have any books that I particularly liked about the subject. Sometimes I have books, sometimes not, and sometimes I just recall some good books we read in the past. It's just a little haphazard… like the rest of my life.
