Fuzzy Halloween Spiders

Supplies Needed:

4 Large Green Wooden Craft Sticks
4 Large Purple Wooden Craft Sticks
8 Small Orange Wooden Craft Sticks
4 Large Googly Eyes
4 Small Googly Eyes
2 Medium Black Poms
2 Large Black Poms
Hot Glue Gun

Directions:

Using the hot glue gun, put a dot of glue in the middle of a green stick and press another green stick on top of it, but make sure it is turned slightly. It will look like a very wide “x”.

Glue another green stick on top of that one and slightly turn it again. Finish with the fourth stick and slightly turn it. It should look like you have 4 legs coming out from each side of the center.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the other craft sticks so that you have 4 spiders. Glue the 2 large poms in the middle of each set of large craft sticks and glue the 2 medium poms in the middle of each set of smaller craft sticks. Glue 2 eyes on each pom.

Have fun making these Fuzzy Halloween Spiders!

Fall Thanksgiving Leaf Turkey

October 7, 2017 by Stacy Leave a Comment

Our leaves haven’t begun to change colors yet, but they will soon. Making a Fall Thanksgiving Leaf Turkey picture would be a fun way to use colorful fall leaves. Sometimes leaves from shrubs and plants are even more colorful so be sure to check those too. You can always use artificial leaves if the season doesn’t fall at the right time for a Fall Thanksgiving Leaf Turkey.

Fall Thanksgiving Leaf Turkey

Needed Supplies:

9-12 Fall Leaves, different colors, and shapes or artificial leaves
3 Pieces Felt—1 each of Red, Orange, Brown
1 Piece White Paper, 12×12
2 Googly Eyes, self-stick
Glue

Directions

Cut out a large turkey body about 9” tall or so. I cut mine out in the shape of a bowling pin, so it looks like a head and a body. Glue this on the paper.

Attach 2 googly eyes on the head. Cut out an orange triangle for the beak and glue on under the eyes. Cut out a red wattle and glue this on the side of the beak.

Glue leaves all around the turkey body in a fanned-out position so they look like the turkey’s feather.

Let it set and dry for about an hour. Fun and easy fall craft for kids!

Dyed Pumpkin Seed Fall Art

Supplies Needed:

1-2 pkgs. Pumpkin Seeds
5 Disposable Cups
10 Tbsp. White Vinegar
Food Coloring—red, yellow, orange, green, purple
Markers
Sheets of White Paper
Glue Stick

Directions:

In each of the 5 cups, put 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 1/3 cup water. Add 8-10 drops of coloring to each cup and mix well.

Divide the seeds and place some into each cup and mix well. Let the seeds soak for about an hour.

Lay out on a wax paper lined baking sheet, and let dry overnight. Children will love the fun colors!

On a sheet of paper draw an outline of a fall picture. Examples: Tree, Pumpkin, or an apple. Use the pumpkin seeds to fill in the picture by placing glue in the outline and placing seeds all over.

Let dry for about 5-10 minutes.

You may want to try using a heavier duty glue but if it’s applied thick enough, the seeds will stick with a glue stick. Otherwise, practice “dot-dot-not-a-lot” with a glue bottle. You don’t want those seeds too wet.

Have fun with the endless possibilities with this fun fall craft!
