| Think corn shocks, cornucopias, harvest vegetables such as squash, corn, pumpkins, apples, etc. Old time harvesting such as picking apples, or a horse pulling a harvest wagon.....hayrides, etc. Cut pumpkins out of felt, trace a hand and make it into a turkey -- paint or decorate them with markers.....spatter paint leaves, paint leaves gold to stick the leaves to windows at home,or teach the kids how to preserve them with glycerine or however they do that. Leaves, especially sugar maple leaves are great fun to work with. Trace many leaves onto a sheet of paper and overlap the outlines. Then use autumn colored crayons to color in the rather abstract spaces that are formed by the overlapping lines. Voila, a "stained glass leaf window." |
