Nature Themed Autumn Craft
Kids will love collecting the nature items they need to make this as much as completing the actual project.
Look here to see full project instructions.
As I hope you gathered from the picture this autumn nature wreath craft is from Craft Ideas. They have many neat fall projects right now but I like this one because you get to go for a walk outside plus use recyclables and nature for art.
You can use a glue gun the project states but I’d bet any sort of plain old craft glue will work. Also, I’d plan on using whatever your own kids happen to find and like outside. The one above is pretty. But the one your child makes will be unique; besides, pine cones, leaves and acorns, consider fall flower petals, tiny branches (tiny), seeds, and more.
Lastly you can sprinkle the finished project lightly with a dash of cedar, cinnamon, and or orange essential oils to give it a real autumn smell.
Have Fun! Don’t forget to send cool pictures of your completed projects to share. My camera is a tad busted but I might use my phone to take a picture of Cedar’s. (We have to finish first!)

I think this is so cute! I am putting together a post on my blog: discursivelyhappy.blogspot.com of arts/crafts/food ideas for fall and would love to include this one (credit going to you and your blog of course!). Please let me know ASAP if that will be fine. THanks again!
