Supplementary Fall Kids Crafts to make

Here are some more fall crafts for kids to make.

Wild Kingdom 

Materials:  Leaves, Twigs, Acorns, Pine needles, Bark, Rocks, Tacky glue, Googly eyes, and Marker

Instructions:

1.     Collect leaves, twigs, acorns, pine needles, bark, rocks, and other materials.

2.    Use small dabs of tacky glue to build a creature.

3.    Add little googly eyes, and use a marker to draw a nose and mouth if you'd like.

Swans a-Swimming

Materials: Pipe cleaners, toothpicks, Orange marker, Tacky glue, Googly eyes, Pinecones, and Feathers

Instructions:

 

 

 

 

 

For each, bend a piece of pipe cleaner (a 12-inch piece for the adult, 6-inch for a chick) into the shape shown.

To add a beak, color the end of a toothpick with orange marker, cut it off, and use tacky glue to attach it to the head coil. Glue on a set of googly eyes.

To finish, glue a pinecone to the pipe cleaner base, then glue feathers to the pinecone.

 

Birdseed Biscuit

 Materials:  3/4 cup of birdseed, 1 tablespoon flour, Water, Cookie cutter, Oil, Foil, Cookie sheet, Straw and Ribbon

Instructions:

Our recipe makes two 3-inch biscuits (one is shown here) or a single 4-inch biscuit. Mix together the birdseed, flour, and 2 tablespoons of water.

 

Spray or wipe a cookie cutter with oil and place it on a foil-covered cookie sheet. Pack the mixture into the cutter, inserting half a straw near the top to create a hole for hanging.

Bake the biscuit (with the straw) in a 170º oven until the biscuit is hard, about one hour. Let it cool.
Remove the straw, thread a ribbon through the hole, and hang it outside in a sheltered spot.
