Crafts for 3rd graders

My daughter goes to a Christian school and I am room mom. I need to organize a Harvest party and crafts. The school is VERY strict about not having any Halloween items in the classes. Any suggestions? I am especially having a hard time coming up with a craft.

OrientalTrading.com has some great craft kits that are well suited for school.

I work in a cancer clinic and a friend of mine teaches Sunday school. She has her kids make things to donate to my patients. Once they made a fantastic banner, another time they made bookmarks... very easy to do with card stock, stickers, and ribbon.

Good Luck!

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."

How about making haystacks out of chinese noodles and melted buterscotch pieces. Let them mold them with disposable gloves. Afterwards they can eat them.

how about a pumkin tissue dispenser. A roll of toilet paper. take the tube out of the middle and pull up to dispense. I piece of material cut in a circle and a green pipe cleaner,for a loose hole at the top. Let them cut leaves out of felt,poke hole in them and slide on pipe cleaner. Pull toilet paper through top of pumpkin. Fast and easy.

One great fall themed classroom craft project is to create a large tree out of poster paper. Students can then trace their hands on fall colored construction paper and either write their names on the inside or what their thankful for. Another variation to this idea is to create a large turkey and have students create its feathers.
