Fall craft ideas for teachers grades K-4

Hello again! It's been a wild first few weeks of school.  I haven't had the opportunity to post and I do apologize for that but hopefully now the craziness will begin to settle and I can give you some more great ideas to use in your classroom.  


I was looking for a great way to incorporate the look of fall trees in the room.  I noticed that a fellow teacher had a really cool paper bag tree in her classroom and that got me thinking....Then of course I found this pin on Pinterest and I figured I would share.  I added the link to the original blog post so you can get more detailed ideas.  One thing I might add would be to have the students make thumbprint "leaves" in fall colors and hang them from the branches.  

DIY: Tree from paper bag. Did these in my classroom and I had the kids dip their fingertips in fall colored paint (white during winter) then touch the branches. Great 3D art project!

OMG in LOVE this one! Especially if you have an owl theme in your room! 

Spring is my favorite time for kids crafts. So many pretty colors. These are all easy spring crafts for kids.11 Halloween crafts for kids - Today's Parent



Well isn't this just adorable! So easy to do too! 

Halloweenpotje: Je pakt een klein tuinpotje en zet het ondersteboven, je schildert hem zo als op het plaatje en dan teken je er een gezichtje op, maar je kan ook voor de ogen van die wiebelogen doen en als laatste doe je er een touwtje aan vast...

Kinda easy- Kinda self explanatory.  Really like! I would recommend doing this in a two day process.   Those plates need a lot of time to dry!

OK admit it- This is different! I don't think I have seen this done in a classroom before.  I kinda like the hands on idea.  Especially if you are doing a farm visit and going through a corn maze.  Would like to give the kiddos an idea of what actually grew on those stalks.

Ahh yes it's also sunflower season here in the north east.  Can't forget those beauties!

The fall time just lends itself to so many different ideas and the best things to make with your students are things that are found in nature,  I know that as a parent I tend to hang a lot of my kiddos art work but the ones that last longer on the walls or fridge are the seasonal pieces.
