What You Need

You only need a few simple supplies for this fall craft:

• Printable cloud and fall leaf templates
• Colored paper for the background
• Another colored sheet for the inside background
• White paper for the cloud
• Red/ Orange/ Yellow/ Brown/ Green colored papers for the leaves
• Scissors
• Glue
• Black marker

Tip: You can choose any colors you like for the background. Letting kids choose their favorite colors is an easy way to make every craft look a little different.

How to Make:

1. Make the Background

• Start by choosing an A4-sized colored paper for your main background.
• Next, take another light-colored A4 sheet. Leave an equal gap on all four sides and draw a dashed outline around it. Then, cut along the dashed lines.
• Or, you can print the dashed outline directly onto an A4 sheet using the provided template and simply cut along the dashed lines.
• Now glue the smaller paper onto the center of your colored background. Keep it aside and let it dry completely.

2. Print and Cut the Templates

• Print the craft templates onto colored paper. Use white paper for the cloud and red, brown, green, yellow, and orange paper for the fall leaves.
• Carefully cut around the outlines to separate the cloud and leaves from the sheets.
• For younger children, an adult can help with cutting or prepare the pieces before starting the activity.

3. Add the Blowing Cloud

• Before using glue, arrange your cutout pieces on the background to see where you want everything to go.
• Place the cloud near the top-right side of the background and glue it in place.
• Use a black marker to draw several curved blowing lines coming from the cloud's mouth. These simple lines make it look like the cloud is blowing a strong autumn wind.

4. Add the Colorful Fall Leaves

• Arrange the red, orange, yellow, green, and brown leaves around the background.
• Place some near the wind lines so they look like they are blowing through the air.
• Turn the leaves in different directions to make the windy scene look more natural.
• You can also place plenty of leaves along the bottom of the picture to create a colorful pile of fall leaves.
• Once you are happy with the arrangement, glue all the leaves in place.

5. Let It Dry and Display

• Allow the glue to dry completely.
• Your Fall Leaves Wind Blowing Craft is now ready! Hang it on a classroom wall, bulletin board, door, or at home for a colorful autumn display.

Benefits of This Fall Craft for Kids:

This easy autumn craft combines creativity with simple early learning. Cutting out the cloud and leaves can help children practice fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, while arranging and gluing the pieces gives them a chance to make their own creative choices.

It is also a simple way to introduce fall weather and wind. While crafting, talk about what happens when the wind blows. Ask children how leaves move, where fallen leaves collect, and what colors they see during fall.

Children can also practice identifying common autumn colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, and brown.
