Fall Leaves Crafts and Activities

My youngest asked if we could paint some leaves this morning. It has been a long time since we have done any crafts at home, so I immediately said yes. He wanted to cut some leaves from paper and paint them, but I suggested we take a walk and collect some real leaves to paint.  So, we took a short walk in the neighborhood and collected a ton of different kinds of leaves.

Here are the leaves we collected.

Once we were back home, we talked about which colors are fall colors. We set up our paint tray and began painting.

My boys were super creative and created some gorgeous leaves.

Here are a few of my favorites:

So, inspired by this experience with my boys, I search around the web a bit and found a handful of other fall leaves crafts that I hope to do with my boys this season.
