| Autumn Wreath. 4-5 years old Cut out the bottom of a paper plate, and use the rest as a base for the wreath. Using a printout trace some leaf shapes onto construction paper of the appropriate color. Cut out the leaves: you can cut out the more difficult shapes and leave the simple ones for your child to cut out. Or you could suggest to your child to color the leaves and then cut them out. In our wreath we used all (I cut out maple leaves, my son colored a few leaves with watercolors and he cut out the simpler shapes). Glue all the leaves to the paper plate circle. You better use the liquid glue, not the glue-stick. |

Draw a few “feather” shapes on a piece of construction paper or use a simple white paper and then ask your child to color the feathers. Let your child to cut them out and then glue them to the band. You should use thicker paper for the feathers so they won't bend over. |
