Gorgeous Accordion Fold Fall Paper Leaf Banner
Today we're continuing with the theme of easy fall crafts. Couple of days ago I shared this really beautiful Sewn Leaf Art project that I made with my preschooler. Today I just wanted to share this gorgeous folded paper leaf banner.
I came up with the idea after reading some fall-themed books with my son. Seeing all the beautiful colored leaves in the books made me miss the fall leaves back on the East coast. And then it hit me- why not make our own? Bring a bit of fall to our forever-summer state. And so, my son and I got to making and painting together. The results came out so beautiful that he insisted we hang the banner up in his room to spruce it up.

Make Monster Sculptures with kids!
Looking for a fun Halloween activity for preschoolers?
Why not set up a monster-making factory in
your dining room? Yup. This fun art and craft activity is a great
way for kids to be creative and gear up for the upcoming
holidays. (Hooray Halloween! Woo-hoo!)

Living in Southern California, I have a tough time appreciating seasons. I mean, we’re still in the 70s-80s here. The leaves are green…. I'm still wearing shorts and sandals. It just doesn’t quite feel like fall. So this monster-making activity really helped us get into the fall spirit.

Avengers Paper Plate Masks
One of the neatest things about being a mom is seeing my son bond with my husband. Right now they both share a love for all things Lego and Super Hero. While I enjoy Lego, I'm not a big super hero fan. But I still tried to incorporate it into our crafting time as well. Here are some Avengers Paper Plate Masks that we recently made together!

Colorful Fairytale Cardboard Castles
The
castle and dragon craze continues at our house!
Last week we made some lovely paper plate dragons. Did you check them out? Then, we painted some castles that were built from
scraps of paper and cardboard. This was a perfect play date craft because the castles were easy to assemble and both the kids (and moms) had fun painting them!

Hyper Colorful Painted Paper Plate Flowers!
Lately I've been enamored with paper plate crafts. We always have a ton of cheap, white paper plates lying around and they're the perfect canvas. A couple of days ago my son was sick and we stayed home all day. Fortunately, we kept ourselves busy with Lego, lots of book reading, and two paper plate crafts. We had such fun painting, I thought I'd share our crafts here. Here's our first paper plate craft-

Make Tricycle Circle Artwork with Kids!
When I set up today's preschool art activity, my husband thought I was crazy. Really. He thought I finally inhaled too many craft paint fumes, fell off my rocker, and floated away to la-la land.
To be fair to him, it really WAS a giant art activity. But I was still surprised by his reaction because he's already seen me do messy activities (like making jello brains), slimey activities, and fairly large scale art activities (like this GIANT DIY scratch board).... so really, in the grand scheme of things, what's the big deal with making....

DIY Easy, Breezy Cardboard Rainbow Mobile (Template included)
Rainbows have been on my mind a lot lately. Maybe it has to do with landmark Supreme court ruling? Or maybe it's just because I've been kinda sick and they make me feel happy. Hrmm... probably a bit of both reasons, I suspect. Here on the blog, I've shared a full spectrum of rainbow crafts. They're colorful, fun, and always put a smile on people's faces. Today I'm sharing this easy, breezy cardboard rainbow mobile that I whipped up a couple of nights ago.
I really love how it moves in the air.

3 Totoro Crafts
Have you seen the movie Totoro? We recently checked it out from the library and have already watched it a dozen times! Totoro is a large, furry forest spirit who helps two sisters adjust to their new home. My preschool son loves it because there are no bad guys, the sisters have a really sweet relationship, and Totoro is extremely cute. So today I'm sharing 3 Totoro crafts in honor of this great Miyazaki anime!

Squirt Squirt Ocean Art!
If there's anything in the world that will brighten up a preschooler's day.... it's water play. Water is seriously magical. Give a kid a bucket of water, a pool, a water gun, or a hose... and bam! Laughter and good times are bound to be in your future!
Today 4 other creative preschool bloggers and I are sharing some really easy and engaging water activities. You can find the entire list at the bottom of this post!
In our home, we've really loved making Ocean Crafts and rainy day process art. So I thought it would be fun to combine the two with this fun Ocean Process Art Activity! We got a chance to use a whole bunch of art materials (including water guns) to create some ocean-inspired artwork.

Make Lego Prints with Kids
I'm always looking for ways to encourage my preschooler to make art with me. Lately he's been infatuated with Lego and Transformers. One day, after building a good-guy hideout from Lego, I was struck by how pretty our design looked. So we grabbed some paint and made some Lego prints to capture all the details of our lovely design!

Easy, Giant DIY Scratchboard Art!
Have you ever tried making scratch art (affiliate links)? It's seriously addictive. We recently bought a set of scratch art boards from our local toy store and had a BLAST doodling, tracing, and scratching. So after we used up all our boards....I got thinking. Why use tiny scratch boards...... when GIANT SCRATCH BOARDS could do?
(Muah Ha ha. Insert crazy, crafter laughter here.)
