Leaf Wreath

Fall Crafts For Kids



  This leaf wreath is a wonderful craft project if you are looking for arts and crafts for children.  Preschool children will be able to make this Fall wreath easily.  This is a great way to get your child outside to enjoy the color of the leaves!  Have the children collect colorful leaves and then bring them inside to make this easy nature craft!

Things Needed:

  • Fresh Fall leaves in various colors
  • Paper plate
  • White school glue
  • Scissors
  • Pretty ribbon



1.  Begin this Autumn craft by collecting about twenty colorful leaves from outside.  Try to get nice fresh ones that have just fallen... they will be easier to glue on.

2.  Cut the middle out from a paper plate.  Fold the plate in half to get the cut started in the middle, then cut along the rim to make about a 2 inch paper plate border (young kids may need help with this part).

3.  Continue building the wreath by gluing each leaf to the paper plate.  Slightly overlap each leaf.  For this leaf craft, I had each leaf point in the same direction, with the stems pointing inward.

4.  Next, clip off the stems from each leaf using scissors.
