Fall is quickly approaching, which means that it’s time to start thinking about all of the fun autumn-themed crafts and activities you can do with your kids. One of the best things about fall is all of the beautiful leaves that change color and fall from the trees. If you’re looking for a fun and easy way to help your child enjoy the fall season, why not try making some leaf-themed crafts using free leaf templates?
I have created five templates for you to use, each of which features a different type of leaf. Simply print out the template of your choice onto some heavy cardstock, and then let your child color, paint, or decorate the leaves however they like. You can even cut out the leaves and use them to create fun leaf garlands or wreaths.
Ways to use these fall leaf templates:
There are many ways you can use these free printable leaf templates. Here are just a few ideas:
– Print out multiple copies of the templates and use them to make a leaf collage.
– Use the templates as patterns to cut leaves out of felt or construction paper.
– Laminate the templates and let your child trace around them with a dry-erase marker.
– Help your child practice their cutting skills by having them cut out the leaf templates.
– Play a matching game by cutting out leaves from construction paper or felt and then let your child match them up to the corresponding templates.
Fall activities for your leaf templates
In addition to using leaf templates for crafts, they can also be used for all sorts of fun fall-themed activities. Here are a few ideas:
– Go on a leaf scavenger hunt! Use the templates to help your child identify different types of leaves.
– Make a Leaf Book by stapling together several sheets of paper and having your child glue leaves onto the pages.
– Use the templates to create a Leaf collage by gluing different colored leaves onto a piece of paper.
– Make a Leaf mobile by hanging leaves from a string or ribbon.
– Play a matching game by coloring two identical leaves and cutting them out. Have your child match the leaves up by shape, color, or type of tree.
