Fall is such a colorful season, and it’s the perfect time to bring those bright autumn leaves into fun classroom and home crafts. Kids love hands-on projects, and this “Boots with Fall Leaves” craft is a simple and creative way to celebrate the beauty of autumn. With just a few supplies, printable templates, and a little imagination, children can create a craft that looks just like a vase filled with fall leaves!
What You Need
- Printable boots templates (different patterns included)
- Fall leaves templates (for coloring and cutting)
- Blank white sheet of paper
- Coloring materials (crayons, markers, or pencils)
- Ink or paint for dots (or kids can even use colored pencils)
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Background
Start with a blank white sheet of paper. Kids can add some fun by putting ink or paint dots all over the sheet. This makes the background look lively and playful. Let the dots dry if you’re using paint. - Color the Boots
Choose one boot template from the different patterns provided. Kids can color the boot in their favorite colors. Encourage them to get creative—fall boots can be red, yellow, orange, brown, or even rainbow-colored! - Cut and Paste the Boot
Once the boot is colored, cut it out carefully. Glue the boot onto the bottom part of the dotted background paper. But here’s the trick: don’t glue the top part of the boot yet—leave it open. This will make space for the leaves later. - Color and Cut the Leaves
Next, kids can color the fall leaf templates. Encourage them to use autumn colors like red, orange, yellow, and brown. After coloring, carefully cut out the leaves. - Add the Leaves
Take the cut-out leaves and slide them under the top flap of the boot (the part you didn’t glue down). Arrange them so it looks like the boot is holding a bunch of beautiful fall leaves, just like a vase. Once the leaves are in place, glue down the top of the boot. - Finishing Touches
Kids can add extra details if they want—like drawing grass at the bottom, a sunny sky, or even more falling leaves around the paper.
