How to Make a Fall Rain Boots and Leaves Craft

1. Color the Rainy Background

Start by printing the rainy scene coloring page on a white sheet of paper.
Use crayons, pastels, or colored pencils to color the background. Add blue to the raindrops and puddle, and gently shade the rest of the background to create a rainy-day look.
When you are finished coloring, keep the background aside.

2. Make the Rain Boots

Print the rain boots template on your favorite colored paper.
Use markers to add simple patterns to the boots. Kids can make dots, stripes, hearts, stars, or any other easy pattern they like.
Another option is to print the boots on white paper and color them completely with crayons, markers, or colored pencils.
Carefully cut out boots along their outlines.

3. Make the Fall Leaves

Print the leaf templates on fall-colored paper, such as red, orange, yellow, brown, and green.
Carefully cut each leaf along its outline.

4. Arrange the Craft

Take your finished rainy background and place the rain boots in the middle of the page.
Position the bottom of the boots inside the puddle so it looks like they are standing in the rainwater.
Next, arrange several colorful fall leaves at the top of the boots. These leaves will look like they are tucked inside the rain boots.
Place a few more leaves around the background to make the scene look like a windy fall day.
Don't glue anything yet. Move the pieces around until you are happy with the arrangement.

5. Glue Everything in Place

Start by gluing down any leaves that need to sit behind the top of the boots.
Next, glue the rain boots over those leaves.
Finally, add and glue the remaining fall leaves around the boots and background.
Press each piece gently so it stays flat.

6. Let It Dry and Display

Keep the finished craft aside and let it dry completely.
Once dry, your fall rain boots and leaves paper craft is ready to display! Hang it on a classroom wall, bulletin board, door, or at home for a cheerful autumn decoration.
