Autumn-Themed Thanksgiving Activities for Kids
Fall winds blow and leaves make their
decent from tree limbs. It is the perfect time for fun autumn
activities for kids. Here are some ways to have fun with your kids
this fall:
Create an autumn yard collage
This is a great way to get your kids involved in beautifying your
front lawn for the fall season. Materials you will need to create your
autumn yard collage include hay bales, pumpkins (all sizes),
scarecrows, witches, cornucopias, etc. Anything related to fall will
look wonderful. Stack your hay bales to create a backdrop. Next, place
a huge scarecrow (or witch) on the center of the stack. Then add other
complimentary fall accessories like cornucopias, corn stacks, ghosts,
etc.
Make a haunted tree
Making a haunted tree is a fun activity for everyone. It is especially
great to do right after raking leaves. First, pick the biggest, best
tree in your front yard; preferably one with many long, crooked limbs.
Next, take small white trash bags and stuff the top half with leaves
from your yard. Twist and tie the bag into a knot, or use a twist-tie
to close the end where the leaves stop. Turn upside down and you have
a ghost! Make as many of these ghosts as you can, then tie them to
tree limbs. As the fall winds blow, your ghosts will haunt your tree.
Happy Autumn Cards
Supply each kid with markers, paper, glue, glitter, stickers, etc. Let
them make several autumn cards and write a special message on the
inside of each one. After any wet appliqués are dried, gather the
cards and take them to your local nursing home to distribute among
patients.
