Autumn time is leaf time.
With a maple leaf dancer you can create beautiful works of art.
In order to obtain a great variety of colours, we use coloured advertising brochures and punch out these maple leaves. We have templates for different bald trees, these are included and two alternatives, how you can create a tree of paper strips and paint it yourself. You can then stick to the trees a lot of punched leaves, so that a colorful autumn tree arises.
Don't forget that many leaves are already lying on the ground in autumn!?
Autumn tree with punched leaves (3 ideas)
Making sheets of newsprint
We make autumn leaves from newspaper. It can not only be made with purchased papers, but also with packaging material. Grab old newspapers, colorful brochures or packaging waste and conjure up beautiful leaves from it.
Paint Apple – on Model
Take an apple as a model, draw the outline and paint it. Glued on a colorful paper, you have a beautiful autumn work of art. Check out the colour gradients, where the style is and maybe your apple also has a leaf? The children learn to look closely at the apple, they deal with the color gradients and cut and paint. Above all, however, the small crafting is fun.
Windspiel with paper rings
We make a windgame/window picture/mobile with a round cardboard frame.
You need a round frame e.g. from a cheese box, a chip can or similar. From paper rings are made, which are then fitted into the frame. Afterwards the whole is covered with transparent paper. This creates a sensational effect, especially in sunlight.

Sun with rays: blow technique
In the summer, you often literally "gone out" through the heat;
This is how the idea came about to shape the rays of the sun with the blow technique. Here, the paint is applied in a circular form, which is then blown outwards with a straw. A good exercise also to strengthen the mouth motor skills in the event of speech difficulties. Targeted blow is required, which costs a lot of air. Try it out yourself!
Sand pictures
Paint any motif with a glue stick and spread on the still moist glue sand over it. Your sand artwork is already being created! Here are some more ideas for you.
