Simple Fall Crafts for Kids: Autumn Wreath Craft

We have another new craft idea for kindergarteners who are getting ready for fall. This is a classroom decoration idea. Children can easily make this craft not only in the classroom but also at home. Because you can get the necessary templates and instructions for that for free from this website. So get ready to experience these simple fall crafts.

What are these Simple Fall Crafts:

The latest simple autumn craft we have brought to you is a wreath design. Especially, it is very simple and can be easily created by children. Moreover, children can create and complete this simple fall craft with a few simple activities such as coloring, cutting, and gluing. This craft also helps children develop their skills while having fun and learning. So let’s see how to make this simple autumn craft idea.

What you need to create these Simple Fall Crafts:

Templates of fall images
Cardstock for the board ring
Colored paper
Glue
Scissors
Crayons, markers, or colored pencils

How to create these Simple Fall Crafts:

01. Download and print the templates:

This is the first step you need to follow. We have provided several template pages with autumn images that you will need to create this wreath. Additionally, all of these pages are designed for A4 size. Also, when printing, print these templates on white paper.

02. Color the printed fall images:

Let the children first choose the images they will use to create their own fall art. Then they can color the printed images using any coloring medium they like. It is best to provide children with pencils, crayons, or markers for this. In addition, give children the freedom to choose a color.

03. Cut out the colorful pictures:

Now let’s cut out these colorful pictures separately. The pictures here are quite small, so it will be difficult for the children to cut them out. So give them your help. But since the animal pictures here are quite large, it would be a great opportunity for children to practice cutting. However, encourage them to cut out the images carefully, with patience and attention.

04. Make the base of the wreath:

Next we will make the base of the autumn wreath. For this, we need a piece of cardboard. Then cut a circle out of it. Here, decide the size of the circle to fit the images you are cutting out. (I have adjusted the images here to fit a circle with a diameter of 30cm.)

Then, we need to turn that circle into a ring. To do this, measure about 8cm from the edge of the circle to the center and mark around the circle. Now draw a circle around that mark and cut around it.

Next, we need to color the ring we have prepared. Otherwise, we can cover it with colored paper.

05. Arrange and paste the pictures around the base:

Let the children arrange the pictures around the base as they wish. But instruct them to paste one of the animal pictures in the bottom middle. Let them paste the remaining pictures around the base as they wish.

Teaching children to make arrangements first is very important because it teaches them to plan before working.

After gluing the figures around the base, let it dry thoroughly.

06. Display your wreath craft:

Attach a small piece of string or ribbon to the top of your wreath. Now it’s ready to hang. You can hang this fall wreath craft in your classroom or anywhere in your home.

Create several learning opportunities with these Simple Fall Crafts:

Teach about autumn: In this craft, children can see animals, food, leaves, and even the colors found in autumn. So, teach them more about autumn with all of these.

Listening practice: Here, you can plan this craft as follows.

First, you give the children the base and the pictures.
Then, direct the children to choose the pictures you say and paste them in the places you say.
To do this, they need to listen to you carefully. This will improve their listening skills.

Identifying the use of space: In this design, the images must be placed and pasted correctly in the given space. It is also necessary to leave gaps between them. All this helps children learn to use limited space correctly.

Final thoughts:

So, with this simple autumn craft idea, your children can use it to decorate for the autumn season. This craft also helps them develop a number of skills such as fine motor skills, creativity, visual discrimination skills, and critical thinking. You can increase the children’s activity in this project. For example, instead of using picture templates, you can let them draw their own pictures. Otherwise, use real leaves instead of leaf templates. It’s a great way for them to connect with the environment.
