How to Make a Kid Silhouette with Fall Leaves Craft

1. Real Fall Leaves with Kid Silhouette Craft

Start by collecting some beautiful real fall leaves from your garden or outdoors. Look for different colors, shapes, and sizes.
Gently clean the leaves and let them dry completely before using them for the craft.
Next, print the kid silhouette template on a white sheet of paper. This sheet will also be the background for your craft.
Arrange the real leaves around the kid silhouette.
Once you are happy with the arrangement, carefully glue the leaves in place.
Keep the craft aside and let it dry completely before displaying it.

2. Paper Fall Leaves with Kid Silhouette Craft

If you don't have real leaves, you can easily make this craft with paper leaf cutouts.

Print the leaf templates on white paper and let kids color them with crayons or colored pencils.
You can also print the templates directly onto red, orange, yellow, and brown colored paper.
Cut out each leaf carefully along the outline. Prepare as many fall leaves as you need for your picture.
Next, print the kid silhouette on a white sheet of paper. Use this sheet as the background for your craft.
Arrange the paper leaves around the kid silhouette. When you like the arrangement, glue all the paper leaves neatly in place.
Let your finished fall silhouette craft dry completely, and then it is ready to display!
