Easy Fall Sign
A fun and easy Fall craft for kids of all ages. Also a great way for kids to enjoy the beauty of watercolors and a simple method that always works. You will cut leaves out of watercolor paper, provide kids with Fall watercolors (tube paints work great) , instruct them to put water on paper first, and then add dabs of colors here and there, letting them run together. Fall colors are "friends" so always look good together. After all pieces are glued or tied to sign, hang on the door!
Materials ~
Piece of cardboard, jagged cut ends, holes in top for hanging string or jute. Sign can be any size, we used 4X9. Plus a piece of jute or string for hanging. Hole for large leaf on bottom edge. Or more if you want to add more leaves. You can use string to tie on hanging leaf or clear fishing line/thread if you have it.
Fall letters cut out of colored paper and some leaves cut out of watercolor paper (there are patterns online if you need them). You can do a few smaller leaves for top and one large as we did or you can do lots of leaves, anything goes.
A few tubes of watercolors in Fall colors such as red, yellow, and purple. More colors can be mixed from these. If you have a paint box set, that will work too.
Glue for letters and leaves.
